Alpha is the new Beta
One-click search is the name of the game on Yahoo! Alpha.
The slick Ajax-ian UI returns search results from multiple sources (Flickr, Wikipedia, Y! Answers, YouTube…) with *no* browser reloads. The Sponsored Results tab can be conveniently left untouched, thus avoiding any distractions (and reducing the number of accidental clicks).
Needless to say, the Y! Alpha results are identical to those on Yahoo! Search (doh!!). Try it out..the folks from Down Under should have worked really hard on this release.

Looks pretty neat, interface is clutter free (unlike yahoo search), easy to use and the wonders of Ajax are nicely implemented. Surprised ads are hidden under the tab “Sponsored Ad”, wonder how they will generate the revenue!

@C2 As a user…I wouldn’t worry about that :)
Besides, its still in the developmental stages…I am guessing the Y!7 folks should be able to figure that out before the final release.

Sure as just a user I don’t care, but otherwise I do :)
