Yahoo is set to launch on Thursday a new mobile search feature designed to let users send short text message queries to Yahoo and receive results back on their mobile phones.
The new SMS Search feature promises to let people get specific information in text on their mobile phones, such as weather, stock quotes and store addresses, and use shortcuts on the keypad to make it faster. For example, typing in "w" and the ZIP code will retrieve a short weather forecast, Yahoo said.
If a specific listing is not included in the first set of results, users can reply for more and get additional results. Users also can save the responses and reply to them repeatedly thereafter to receive updates on the same information, such as stock quotes for a particular company on a daily basis.
