With ever growing iphone apps on apple itunes, yahoo search application for iphone is no new. Yahoo iphone Search software seems fast with perfect speech recognition!
Yahoo Application on iphone for is quick to recognize as a search app without reading the app name. When you open the program for yahoo search, the app asks if you want to use your current location information.
Yahoo iphone Program features a built in google maps, when you search the small map that appears at the top of the screen will have quick links to call the phone number or get directions to the location of the closest business to your current location. This kind of thing is particularly nice for finding things like places to eat.
The overview for search results is certainly nice. Different types of search results show up in different ways. You have the location based results first if there are any, then you have everything else from “Wikipedia” results which show the main photo from the entry as well as some sub-topics to go directly to, to just regular web results.
Yahoo Iphone application interface is very smooth when you touch a link to open a page. If you touch the small map it brings up a full screen version of the map with the locations listed at the bottom of the screen. If you touch a regular web link it slides the link you touched to the bottom of the screen while it loads the page above it. Once the page is fully loaded the link information goes away and reveals browsing controls.
The browsing controls are fairly basic. If you need more you’ll notice a button in the bottom right corner of your screen that will allow you to open up your current page up in the safari browser, or even send a link to the page in an email. With that said, I found the built in browser to be more than sufficient for quickly browsing pages and finding information.
