Yahoo, finally taking cue from Googles very popular mobile search offerings, is launching its own mobile search solution for the iPhone and iPod touch. Point your MobileSafari browser over to http://search.yahoo.com/i and you will be treated to a search experience that integrates many Yahoo products.

Some of the highlights of the new search as laid out in the blog post of Yahoo web dev Ryan Grove are...

  • Search Assist saves you time by completing your queries before you've finished typing them.
  • All of your favorite SearchMonkey modules will follow you from your desktop browser to your iPhone (just make sure you're logged int your Yahoo! account on your iPhone)
  • Movie show times, weather, local results, breaking news, Flickr photos, and other useful Yahoo! Search shortcuts are now at your fingertips.
  • Other helpful features like Quick Links, same-host indent, and more.

I gave up on Yahoo a long time ago. They don't keep very up to date.
