Developers will now be able to build their own search engines using the Yahoo! index and search processing infrastructure via BOSS and include the semantic markup added to pages in both results parsing and the display of those results. There’s considerable potential here for some really dazzling results.
We wrote aboutthe genesis of Search Monkey herethis Spring, it’s an incredibly ambitious project. The end result of it is rich search results, where additional dynamic data from marked up fields can also be displayed on the search results page itself. So searching for a movie will show not just web pages associated with that movie, but additional details from those pages, like movie ratings, stars, etc. There’s all kinds of possibilities for all kinds of data.
