14 DAY TRIAL // As all of us know, the Google search engine is one of the most used search engines on the web. There are a number of websites that come integrated with the powerful Google search engine. This is just to show how popular Google really is. It seems that none of its competitors can provide users with a real alternative for a search engine. Nevertheless, this might change soon, as Yahoo rolled out, in India, a new search option.
If you are to go to the Yahoo India webpage and use the search engine, you will be able to choose between the classic search results and the Glue Page. While still in its Beta form, the Glue Page aims to provide users with a rather different search engine experience. If a user is to type simple words like ice cream, space or Michelangelo, the search results will be more detailed now, including even images, from different webpages.
Changing the way users receive their search results might just be the right tool to counteract Google's popularity. Yahoo India Search page will display different pieces of information, set in boxes, from webpages like Wikipedia, YouTube or Google blog pages. The usual text search results are still positioned on the left side of the page. Rendering the search results might take more time than expected. While the usual text search results are rendered almost instantaneously, the more comprehensive results take more time to load.
It would seem that the guys at Yahoo took everything from the most popular search engines (Google, Yahoo, Ask X) and integrated it into the Beta Glue Page. The result is a new powerful search engine that provides users with a new experience, when trying to find something on the Web. Still, the project is in its Beta state and the topics that can make use of the Glue Page features must be of a more general interest.
