Flash Search Being Enabled By Google, Yahoo; Images/Video Still Not Searchable

In a major step forward in search technology, Adobe (NSDQ: ADBE) is working with Google (NSDQ: GOOG) and Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO) to make Flash files searchable in online search. The project will enable searches on Flash content to return text and links, which can then be indexed, and hence available in search results for the users. Content from a Flash application or even a game or advertisement will be available to search engines, reports InfoWorld. Pages containing a Flash .SWF file will be returned in a search. Google has already implemented this, while Yahoo, ever the laggard, will enable Flash search in a future version, whenever that comes out.

YAHOO SPURNS JOINT MICROSOFT-ICAHN BID TO REVAMP FIRM, ACQUIRE SEARCH BUSINESS

TEL AVIV (MarketWatch) -- Yahoo Inc. said late on Saturday that it rejected a restructuring proposal from Microsoft Corp. and the investor Carl Icahn, and the Sunnyvale, Calif., Internet-services giant called on Microsoft to bid for the whole company. Yahoo said the Microsoft-Icahn plan, which it said would turn Yahoo's search business over to the Redmond, Wash., software giant and the rest over to the New York investor, was presented as a take-it-or-leave it proposition.

Yahoo said that while it rejected the restructuring, it offered two alternatives: "It repeated its offer to sell the entire company to Microsoft for at least" $33 a share, and it "offered to nego

While the remnants of these free music, ring tones, video and gaming websites still struggle with copyright infringement and user annoyance with adware a

After All the Agony, Has Site Search Become a Free Lunch?

Thanks to Google-and, yes, even the dramatic improvement of Yahoo! Search and Microsoft's Live Search over the past few years - people now use search whenever and wherever they find it. Studies show that more than 50% of users go straight to the site search box instead of navigating through links. This fact has led to consternation among companies, interactive ad agencies, and other groups who spend so much time pining over every detail of their websites but gladly hand off the search feature to the corporate IT departments as if it were a pure technology issue. As IT departments usually have lots of problems to worry about, staff tend to "turn on" the search baked into the content management system and move on with their lives. Times have changed.
