Yahoo has become the latest search engine to introduce an 'instant' search results option.
'Search Direct' is a beta service offered by Yahoo that will display a list of the day's most popular search results, updated every 10 minutes. The top searches will also display multimedia content related to the most popular topics.
Shashi Seth, senrio vice president for Yahoo search and marketplaces said that the beta service is an attempt to provide users with direct answers, rather than a vague set of search results.
"We are redefining the search process and prominently displaying direct answers where search decisions are being made," said Seth.
"Search Direct is evidence of Yahoo continuing to lead innovation in search, enabling people to take action faster, find what is most important, and sample what is possible with the next stage of search technology."
