My Yahoo! Blog

Find what you’re looking for.

Now, when you search from your My! page, Yahoo! Search Assist predicts what you’re searching for and offers you suggestions. Try searching for the word “NFL” for example.

Yahoo! Search Assist immediately gives you a list of the most popular search queries containing the word “NFL.” It’s like you’re asking your friend. A smart friend, that is. Someone who knows where to find answers to everything under the sun.

When you see what you want, just click it and Yahoo! Search Assist will fire off the search for you. It’s that simple.

Safari 3 support is here.

For all you Apple lovers out there, My Yahoo! now officially supports the Safari 3 browser on Macs and PCs. Enjoy!

A little more room for you.

Here’s another page option. Choose the “small search box” setting which not only reduces the size of the search box, but brings everything up a little higher on your page. Sometimes, a bit more space can make a difference…

(Personalize this page > Appearance: Searchbox size > Small)

Also, some of you who already found the small search box option wanted a timestamp at the top of the page (thanks for all the suggestion board additions and blog comments). We’ve added it for you, so now you can quickly see when your page was last updated.

Settings give you more control.

The little icons at the top of each module may be small and unassuming, but they can be quite useful in getting your page exactly the way you want it.

Refresh (circling arrows): Click this when you want the freshest information possible. If new items are available, they’ll appear in your module.

Module Options (cog): Access a bunch of settings and functions specific to that module.
• Set the amount of information you want to show in each module such as number of headlines or format (include images, headlines only, short summaries, etc.)
• Share the module with someone by email or IM
• Set up Alerts

Here’s an example from the Engadget module:

Delete (X): You can probably figure that one out on your own.

My Yahoo!, the sequel.

What’s better than having your own My Yahoo! page? Having more than one! You decide what each page contains – name them what you want and use your creative flair to personalize each one. It’s a great way to get at more information more quickly.

There are endless ways to use multiple pages… by hobby, sport, news topic, family interests, etc. Need ideas? Here are some from the My Yahoo! team:

My Personal Stuff / My Work Stuff / Funny Things
Music / Travel Dreams / Game Stuff / News
My Main Page / My Local Stuff / My Sports

A few tips to make this easier:
- Name your page whatever you want. Simply click the title bar, and start typing.
- Drag and drop content from one page to another.

What will your second page be?
