Yahoo Search Adds Baseball Shortcut

Aug 9, 2007 at 1:10pm ET by Barry Schwartz

The Yahoo Search Blog announced a new baseball search shortcut. For example, a search on Prince Fielder, of the Milwaukee Brewers, shows up a shortcut with a picture, his number, team, real statistics for the year and fantasy league statistics, plus links to news, game log, scores, schedules and more photos and stats. Here is a picture:

Note, that a search on Barry Bonds is currently showing Yahoo News results for him, because news results, in this case, override the Yahoo baseball shortcut.

Barry Schwartz is Search Engine Land's News Editor and owns RustyBrick, a NY based web consulting firm. He also runs Search Engine Roundtable, a popular search blog on very advanced SEM topics. Barry's personal blog is named Cartoon Barry and he can be followed on Twitter here.

This is good.

Yahoo could woo me away from Google if they keep on doing things like this.

I think Live.com has had the shortcuts like these for quite some time now. Also, they have very good “define ” definitions.
