Start Monkeying Around
In February, we began talking about our plans to open up Yahoo! Search to Web site owners and all third party developers. This new developer platform, which we’re calling SearchMonkey, uses data web standards and structured data to enhance the functionality, appearance and usefulness of search results. Specifically, with SearchMonkey:
As Ari Balogh, Yahoo!’s new CTO, will discuss in his Web 2.0 Expo keynote this morning, we’re rolling out a limited preview of the SearchMonkey Developer Tool starting today. With this online tool, developers can build data services that can be used to present richer, more useful search results. These data services can be constructed using structured data either from the Yahoo! Search index or from publicly available sources (such as APIs).
In addition to signing up for the preview, head over to the Yahoo! Developer Network booth at Web 2.0 Expo (#901 in the Expo Hall) to check out a demo.
And what’s a new product without a party to kick it off? We’re celebrating this component of our open platform with a Developer Event at our Sunnyvale Campus on Thursday, May 15. If you’re interested in joining us, here’s more information. Hope to see you there.

I have been researching this and what a way to find the info. I definitely think it needs to be blogged about.
Is this the first step towards “Everyone should have a search engine”
Thanks for the great news! This SearchMonkey Developer Tool seems like a very helpful one. I can’t wait to try it out:)
Sorry for my last post abt Desmond. Apologies.
why would you not be open to criticism? Yahoo is late in the game, and that is a fact. You don’t like it, so be it. Don’t have a comment box then, please, if all you want to read is cheap sycophancy. bye.
The heady plans are smart but have come too late. -Des http://techwatch.reviewk.com/2008/04/yahoo-social-platform/
With the deadline reached today, perhaps Yahoo! will release an update to a burning question about its future. Meanwhile, here are some thoughts.

That’s all well and said, but next time you guys design a mascot/icon/logo for whatever concept you have, email me and let me chip in with one of my designs damn it, I had a wicked idea for a ’search monkey’ logo :P
SearchMonkey! Keh. Anyways, its a nice concept. Hoe this will improve search technicalities.
I not sure the name SearchMonkey was a good idea but the concept seems very promising.

are there any more detailed tutorials then the basic ones? namely, how to use multiple data inputs, what errors mean what (”blah blah does not trigger data service”)?
be helpful to have a deeper dive example. i have a working data service, yet my presentation on that says it doens’t trigger the data service when using a more complex set of data inputs. but works fine for single input
Great. Nice feature. Hope its functionality is also good.
