Thanks for stopping by and talking a bit more about SearchMonkey apps. The default apps you mention are great, but how many are now in the default interface – a dozen? And more importantly, what about the optional gallery?

I want Yahoo! users to know they can use different apps (outside of the default) to make their results more interesting. I’m not sure they know that.

Maybe it’s a monthly contest where users vote on which SearchMonkey apps graduate from the optional gallery to the default interface? I’d just like to see more marketing to publishers and users about the existence and value of SearchMonkey.

I think Yahoo! has something here that could make search more interesting. My comments simply reflect a desire for Yahoo! to do more with the product.

Once again, thanks for stopping by and contributing.

Thank you for your kind comments! To clarify, we actually have promoted a number of SearchMonkey plugins to 100% of Yahoo! search traffic. Prominent examples include:

- Wikipedia
- Facebook
- Local Search (Yelp, CitySearch, others)
- Video (Hulu, Y! Video, YouTube, others)

So we are definitely actively promoting top apps, and looking forward to promoting more!

Best,
Evan Goer
