It&#8217;s a 114k jar file that runs on my SLVR, where Yahoo! Go isn&#8217;t yet available yet, so points for that. Search suggestions show as you type, hugely useful on a klunky 9-key entry situation. They use an interesting UI to hold search results, densely packed&#8211;6 down the screen&#8211;with a status bar on top, and each search result marquee-scrolling back-and-forth as needed. A detail page can zap you in to map mode or set up a call.<\/p>\n<p>My standard test search&#8211;a little offbeat but still plausible&#8211;for <a title=\"Meadblog\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.360.yahoo.com\/mdubinko\">mead<\/a> near Sunnyvale produced disappointing results. The meadery within walking distance didn&#8217;t show, and of the top 6, two were duplicates. Scrolling down to the 10th result, though, did show an interesting, useful result, albeit 60.15 miles away: Knowne World Meads. I wanted to visit the web site, but here lies another problem: there&#8217;s no web integration. None of the search results include a URL or clickable link.<\/p>\n<p>For all the hassle, I&#8217;ll stick with Opera Mini and my favorite search engine, thank you. -m<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spotted under the headline Windows Live Search for Mobile Goes Final, Still Great (like they were expecting it to suddenly plummet in quality?) on Gizmodo.
