Breaking news freshens Yahoo search results
Placed more rapidly and more artfully within other results, the more dynamic inclusion of links to breaking-news stories will improve users' search experience, Yahoo says.
Yahoo has updated its search results to include recent headlines more quickly.
"Because we're better able to detect when a query is about a breaking-news topic, we're able to deliver fresher results when it matters most," Paul Yiu of Yahoo search product management and Jean-Francois Crespo of Yahoo search research and development said in a Friday blog posting.
In addition, Yahoo can better place the news in the results page, balancing news with less time-sensitive results, Yahoo said.
Google also has made a strong effort to mix breaking news into its search results.
