Yahoo has launched a new search feature that anticipates queries as users write them. The feature, Search Direct, is similar to the Instant Search Feature that Google released in September.
Results (or answers) on Search Direct are displayed in a box that drops down from the search box. As soon as a user places his cursor in the search box, the drop-down display shows trending search topics. Once the user begins to type, it shows the 10 most likely search terms. If one of those terms involves Yahoo content -- movie times, weather, financial information -- then a preview of that content appears.
Hitting the search button or enter displays normal Yahoo search results.
