Yahoo! Mindset

Yahoo! Mindset is a different kind of search service which gives you a choice to view the search results according to a shopping perspective or a research perspective. I gave it a go with the search query "google" (snicker) you have a bar on the top left with which you can adjust the relevance of your query. Needless to say, like all modern web interfaces, it uses AJAX and it caches the results as you adjust the bar. When I pushed the bar to the left (shopping) it showed me results from google-store, amazon etc whereas when the bar was on the extreme right it showed results from wikipedia , searchengineshowdown etc. A nice innovation from the yahoo labs.
