Yahoo have started to include flickr photo results in Yahoo searches.
The announcement on the Yahoo search blog
http://www.ysearchblog.com/archives/000350.html
suggests searching for "funny photos" via http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=funny+photos
to see an example of the results |
Oh, for the sake of a missing "r"...
http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=flick+photos
just grabs its results from Yahoo image search, not from flickr, and politely asks
Did you mean: flickr photos?
Yes I did! |
This was bound to happen sooner or later. |
I guess it's query dependent.
A search for smiling photos
http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=smiling+photos&prssweb=Search&ei=UTF-8&fr=FP-tab-web-t500&x=wrt
tosses inline results from Yahoo Images.
Pictures happy people
http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=pictures+happy+people&prssweb=Search&ei=UTF-8&fr=FP-tab-web-t500&x=wrt
Again, inline Yahoo Images.
Also, as mentioned in the blog post, Funny Photos returns Flickr images
http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=funny+photos
BUT funny images
http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=funny+images&prssweb=Search&ei=UTF-8&x=wrt
or
or terms inverted (photos funny)
http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=+photos+funny&prssweb=Search&ei=UTF-8&x=wrt
does not.
