Now, Yahoo Glue Pages In India

Glue Pages unite your Classic Search with visual information from the best sites anywhere on the web. Yahoo released a new type of search result for India called “Glue Page.” Instead of the usual text listing, some queries – like Computers – will now trigger a comprehensive and very visual result page. Glue pages are the combination of organic search results with visual images of your query from the best sites anywhere on the web.


The results contain images, videos, articles and more. Searching on Glue Pages Beta will help Users to receive more relevant, visually appealing search results from across the web. The new Glue Pages Beta feature for Yahoo! India Search supports the strategy to make Yahoo the starting point on the Internet and demonstrates commitment to provide a compelling online search experience.


For example a search 'Laptops' returns standard search results on the left, in the middle results with images from ebay and in the end some videos. See the link http://in.search.yahoo.com/search?ei=UTF-8&p=laptops&rd=r1&fr=
