Yahoo brings oneSearch to the desktop

Yahoo has launched a new search engine that aims to deliver more relevant results. The oneSearch service offers results from a number of sources, combining web pages with videos and images. Users hesitating when they enter a search query will be presented with a list of suggested search terms, allowing them to better define their query.

Google was quick to catch up, releasing its Universal Search in May spanning web, local, video and image search.
