The searches also work for some song titles with appending “lyrics” to the end, but not all (for example, hotel california lyrics comes up with nothing). The Yahoo Shortcuts page itself doesn’t yet provide help information about the feature.

Ask.com also shows “Smart Answers” for a search on neil young lyrics with links to allmusic.com.
