I totally agree with you. The point you are making here does make sense. And all those who oppose your views actually lack the basic essence of the subject. You must keep doing the good work. <a href="http://www.tatar.us" rel="nofollow">http://www.tatar.us</a> Well said. I totally agree with you. The point you are making here does make sense.

Lets hope Yahoo's world also goes round at the same pace as the rest of them. Lets face it,their PPC system, Overture, sucks, thats when it decides it wants to work !

Finally, thanks for putting resources in producing this. PS: sorry Paul, if your website is not in the bubble, but as a user I am enjoying it. 1]I can see this service improving Yahoo’s profits, as it attracts more people to use Yahoo.

Works like a dream across browsers. Would be even better if you can expand the list of searchable keywords. Fabulous. Works like a dream across browsers.

That's awesome. Really, I can refine my expression and get instant feedback WITHOUT ever pressing Enter. One of the best usage patterns for it is ‘Instant Calculator’. That’s awesome.

Lot of people do not visit a website to search. My homepage is <a href="http://my.yahoo.com/" rel="nofollow">http://my.yahoo.com/</a> make it work there (even while instant search is in beta). Make it work in Firefox as an extension. Oh I forgot to add, Definite google killer :-)

It is a fun thing, but that is about it. If I want to search for Katrina, if I used google suggest the first suggestion is Katrina Kaif?!! I typed Katrina and clicked the image button, google suggest completed the Kaif part itself - irritating. If I type Katrina in Yahoo search, it is entirely different, and a whole lot more useful, the best part is it works from Yahoo search and I do not need visit <a href="http://instant.search.yahoo.com/." rel="nofollow">http://instant.search.yahoo.com/.</a> Obviously you are here for Yahoo bashing. Why not try this, Type Hurricane Katrina in google image search, compare results with yahoo image search (read about this at some website.) To: sawai
