Yahoo has launched a private beta for its SearchMonkey developer platform. The idea is to create applications that users can install to modify how results display on the Yahoo search pages.
Yahoo! is providing a "limited preview" of a tool that enables developers to create SearchMonkey applications. Site owners can build enhanced search results that will provide searchers with a more useful experience by including links, images and name-value pairs in the search results for their pages (likely resulting in an increase in traffic quantity and quality) Developers can build SearchMonkey apps that enhance search results, access Yahoo! Search's user base and help shape the next generation of search Users can customize their search experience with apps built by or for their favorite sites You can create two types of results with SearchMonkey:
Enhanced result: may provide a more descriptive title, additional navigational links below the description, and other meta data.
