New Yahoo Search - Mindset Beta
Did you hear about Yahoo's new Search Technology called Mindset?
Yahoo! Mindset allows to sort results based on whether they are more commercial or more informational. A easy to use slider on top of the page allows to adjust the users current preference what kind of results he wants to see on top.
I played with the Mindset tool a bit and it returns interesting results. It can definitely distinct between commercial and non-commercial. I am bit confused on how the ranking within the categorized results are determined as they differ quite a bit from the unsorted list.
Let me know your thoughts.
