Yahoo! SearchMonkey Limited Preview launched

Internet media and search engine company Yahoo has announced a limited preview launch of their SearchMonkey technology.

Yahoo said that this new developer platform would use structured data to enhance the functionality of their search engine.

Third party developers would be able to build their own data services to improve the result of their search engine.

The company said in a blog post:

Site owners can build enhanced search results that will provide searchers with a more useful experience by including links, images and name-value pairs in the search results for their pages (likely resulting in an increase in traffic quantity and quality)

Developers can build SearchMonkey apps that enhance search results, access Yahoo! Search’s user base and help shape the next generation of search

Users can customize their search experience with apps built by or for their favorite sites
