Talking Yahoo! Search Sidebar for Firefox
Quote:
This Firefox extension adds a “Yahoo! Search” item in Firefox’s View | Sidebar menu (Alt+Y is the shortcut key) that opens a sidebar tailored for Web searching with Yahoo! Search. It’s using JavaScript to access Yahoo’s Web Services API.

No sooner does Yahoo release their search API but here is a Yahoo! Search Sidebar for Firefox using it.

The Yahoo API offers access to several different Yahoo services:

Image search
Local search
News search
Video search

Not just the plain old Web search... From what I've read it gives developers the ability to draw the results from Yahoo. I'll have to look into it a little more.

Yahoo API! Yahoo API! Yahoo API!

I just wish they had one for Google
