Yahoo Mail gets better - improved Search

by Ujwal Tickoo on April 26th, 2006

Yahoo Inc. has just improved Y! Mail its leading Web Mail application.

 If you now log into your Yahoo Mail account you will be greeted by a new message from Yahoo Inc.

 Yahoo Inc. (YHOO) now provides 3 views of your Yahoo Mail search results instead of plainly listing your messages containing the searched terms:

• Message View (the expected view of a listing of messages matching the search query along with some lines of text from the body of the email.)
• Photo View (shows a thumbnail image of each photo attached with the messages found in a search of your Y! Mail.)
• Attachment View (shows a thumbnail image of the attachment, its file name, file type etc. for the messages found in a search of your Y! Mail.)

In addition you will see Refiners for your Search Results in Yahoo Inc.’s mail client.

 The Search Result Refiners available in Yahoo Mail are:

1. Senders
2. Folders (in Yahoo Mail)
3. Attachments
4. Message Status (flagged, read, unread)
5. Dates

From within Yahoo Mail (or even without logging into Y! Mail) you can click for more Help/Tutorials from Yahoo Inc. on the better search features.
