Survey: Mobile Web Search

March 21st, 2007 MobileFreak

Today Yahoo! unveiled their new mobile search service, dubbed oneSearch. This represents a significant change in that Yahoo! is truly treating the mobile medium differently than the traditional desktop search, and for good reason.

Specifically, Yahoo! is attempting to deliver the information the mobile web user is looking for immediately, without asking the user to select from a list of search results. This is based on the idea that the cell phone web user is looking for specific types of information (think stock quotes, local weather, product reviews, etc.) immediately. Read more about it here.

Google understands this concept as well, as you may have read in our earlier article, Mobile Search Sites, Part 1. If you haven’t tried out any of the mobile search engines yet, here they are:

• Google Mobile
• Yahoo! oneSearch
• Ask Mobile Search
• MSN Windows Live Search for Mobile

So what do you think?

Who offers the best mobile search experience?

• Yahoo! OneSearch
• Google Mobile Search
• Ask Mobile Search
• Microsoft's Windows Live Search
• Never Used Any of Them!
