Yahoo's launches response to Google's desktop search
InternetNews.com is reporting this morning that Yahoo’s desktop search product has emerged from beta, and is now available for general download :
LiveWords lets users initiate a Web search from within a file or document on the desktop. Highlighting a word and then clicking the new LiveWords button delivers what Yahoo calls a "search snack." The search snack is a small sampling of Web search results.
Yahoo originally built the LiveWords feature into Yahoo Messenger instant messaging.
