Bing Integrates Qwiki Videos Into Search Results
Bing’s search results are getting a bit more interactive with the integration of machine-generated videos from Qwiki. The companies have just announced that some search results — currently those where a Wikipedia page appears — will offer searchers a chance to see and hear a Qwiki video about the search topic. The integration shows up […]
Searchme Launches Multimedia Visual Search
Searchme has rolled out what it calls “true” blended search results, combining web, video, images, music and Twitter results organized by their relevance and playable inside the search results page. Searchme displays results as small versions of entire web pages, in a format that looks just like the “cover flow” display in iTunes. I love […]

Ask Relaunches: Now “Ask 3D”
Chris Sherman once compared Ask.com to Apple. Ask CEO Jim Lanzone remarked to me that he liked the comparison because it spoke to quality and innovativeness. Indeed, among the top-tier search engines Ask has arguably been the most innovative. In one sense it has to be. Without that effort it might lose hold on the […]
Yahoo News Moves Images & Video News Results To Top
Greg Jarboe reports Yahoo has added images and videos to the top of some of the Yahoo News search results. For example a search on apple options returns both image news results and video news results at the top of the news search page.
