Yahoo! desktop search ambitions revealed
Danny Sullivan continues his habit of detailed analysis on search engine news, presenting possibly the most comprehensive appraisal of Yahoo! desktop search aspirations in Yahoo Details Desktop Search Plans.
Aside from detailing that the Yahoo! desktop search will be a licensed form of the X1, it will also be able to index more files than the current Google Desktop release. Danny Sullivan also suggests that the Yahoo! offering could be more consumer friendly, by its inclusion of such features as integration into the task bar menu. However, with Google's developer tools open to the internet, it can surely only be a matter of time before the basics of Google Desktop search are developed into a more consumer-specialised application.
Yahoo! desktop search is apparently due for public release in January 2005.
