In response to Google's popular app for the iPhone, Yahoo announced today that it has launched [img src="http://sale-online.click/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/yahoo-iphone.gif" caption="" credit="" alt=""] its own online iPhone search that not only lets you search the Web, but includes Search Assist and SearchMonkey to add even more functionality to a well-designed solution.
Yahoo's Search for the iPhone aims at reducing the amount of time it takes to search the Web, while allowing you to enjoy using some of the Yahoo applications you may already be using on the desktop.
The offering includes support for Search Assist, which completes your queries before you've finished typing them and even works with the company's SearchMonkey offering, which will bring all your modules from the desktop and port them to your iPhone as long as you're logged into Yahoo's site. Other popular pages like, movie showtimes, weather, local results, and Flickr are also included as shortcuts.
Yahoo was quick to tout its latest iPhone solution as the latest and greatest the company has to offer and after using it for a while now, I can say that it works as advertised. Granted, the search results aren't necessarily as relevant as Google's, but if you're a fan of SearchMonkey and you use Yahoo search regularly, you'll be delightfully surprised by how well it mimics the desktop Yahoo experience.
