Yahoo! oneSearch and Yahoo! Answers both offer platforms for searching — oneSearch with instant results to your queries from your mobile phone and Answers with the content of 350 million answers from over 95 million users worldwide. We wanted to integrate these two methods of searching because we know that sometimes you need to tap people who are “in the know” when you’re trying to find a quick answer on the go.

Starting today, when you use oneSearch to conduct queries for advice or reference topics, the search results you’ll receive will include relevant answers from other Yahoo! Answers users all over the world, as well as the usual news headlines, images, business listings, etc. When you search for opinions or recommendations from others, such as ‘What is the best apartment dog?,’ you’ll see a cluster of Yahoo! Answers results. And for factual queries like ‘2008 Summer Olympics,’ your oneSearch results will show content from Wikipedia as well to give you a little something extra to chew on.
