Tips for searching on Yahoo!.

You may already know that you can do searches directly from your My Yahoo! page. Here are a few tricks to help you save time and get more out of your search experience. To name a few:

Music shortcut – If you love music, you can search for a band name or music artist (such as Taylor Swift) and play full music tracks (not 30 second snippets – the entire song) and watch music videos right on the search results page.

Sports shortcut – Searching for your favorite NFL football, baseball, or basketball player gives you game logs, stats, news, scores & schedules, and Yahoo! Fantasy rankings right at the top of the search page.

Recipe shortcut – To help you decide what to cook tonight, you can type in the name of a cuisine or ingredients followed by “recipe” (e.g. pumpkin pie recipe) and see popular recipes to get cooking ideas.

Give it a try and see for yourself with these sample searches:
- Music shortcut: Keith Urban
- Sports shortcut: Braylon Edwards
- Recipe shortcut: chicken recipe

You can enjoy these features whether you search from your My Yahoo! page or the Yahoo! homepage. Happy searching!
