Yahoo has recently rolled out its version of Google Instant on Wednesday called 'Search Direct' that predicts and displays results as you type in the search box, saving few seconds and the effort to hit that search button. This feature is also compatible with smart phones and tablet computers. 

There used to be a time when Yahoo was the leader of search engines, and today they are trying their level best to make sure that they are still in the game. 

"With today's launch, direct answers - not the search results page - is the primary focus." stated Yahoo's senior vice president, Shashi Sethi, further adding, "We are redefining the search process and prominently displaying direct answers where search decisions are being made. 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."

While Yahoo's chief product officer, Blake Irving said, "It's not a bunch of links, it is images, and data you are looking for; much smarter and much faster." further adding, "The search game is incredibly important to us, because we know it is what people want to engage in."
