Yahoo Search Integrates Flickr Images In Search Shortcuts The Yahoo Search Blog announced that they have integrated Flickr images into their search results. So a search on funny photos or travel photography would pull images from Flickr and then take you to a tag search at Flickr, if you so request. But what about Yahoo Images? Well, they still come up for some searches, I happen to be looking for an Windows XP logo today, and I searched on xp logo at Yahoo and got Yahoo Image results at the top, some may not be that appropriate. Also, typically a search on photos at [keyword here] would bring back Yahoo Photo results.

Dutch Farmers Site Loses Court Case Against Google Reuters reports that the Dutch farmer dating site has lost their court case in Amsterdam. The judge ruled that the keywords "farm" and "date" were too general. When Farm Date's owner issued the complaint, they did so because ads come up for sex and pornographic sites, which they claim is "very damaging for Farmdate's reputation."

Yahoo's Panama Release Coming Sooner Then Expected? Yahoo Search Marketing advertisers have been receiving emails from Yahoo urging them to update their profile information because their "account will soon be completely upgraded and redesigned, providing you with a number of advanced features that will help you better connect to Yahoo's audience." So should we expect that the delayed Panama release is to be expected early? I am not sure 100%, but more details at the Search Engine Roundtable.

Google Maps Inline With Search Results Philipp Lenssen spotted someone who captured Google inserting a plus sign in the search results, when you click on that plus sign, it opens up a Google Maps result. Earlier, we reported that Google displayed map results in the OneBox area. This application of the Google Maps product requires user action to click on the plus sign, which opens up the Maps result. I have tested this out on the query that generated this Google response but was unsuccessful in replicating its behavior on a Mac or PC (Firefox or IE).

Slower Posting Through Monday I'm away on a long weekend break from now through Monday, and Barry's taking some more time on Friday and Monday, as well. So there will be posts, but perhaps not as much as usual. Then again, the search weather has been fairly sunny, so we encourage you to take some time off and for all news makers to have a good rest.

Mobile Search for TV Listings TV Guide and mobile local search content provider 4Info have teamed up to permit cellphone users to access TV Guide's listings content via SMS or WAP. Here's the announcement. This is obviously for people who MUST know when their favorite TV shows are on (but wouldn't they already know?). While this is probably ultimately about PR and branding for TV Guide, it probably will get some usage. My question is: wouldn't it just be easier to get a TiVo?

See related stories in these categories! (available to SEW members) Legal: Privacy, Search Research, Stats: Search Behavior Hitwise: Google & Yahoo Make Tiny Gains In July 2006 Today I look at figures from Hitwise, as part of my series on search engine rating figures that have recently been released and how to analyze them. For those just tuning in, on Monday, I covered comScore stats showing a Google decline in July 2006. On Tuesday, I talked about NetRatings also showing a decline, but a smaller one than comScore. The main point in both of those articles was to stress the need to look at data over a longer period of time than month-to-month and to examine figures from multiple services.
