A little more information regarding Yahoo's take on real-time search has emerged, and the details - scarce as they are - sound encouraging. Another key point is that public testing of the real-time search feature may be just a few days away.
As we've said before, real-time search will be a tricky thing for Yahoo. Google and Facebook have already made their first efforts in this field, and their partner - Twitter - has a rather higher profile than Yahoo's pal, OneRiot.
Bing and Google may have gotten a head start, but Yahoo isn't ignoring the whole real-time search arena, according to a new report. In fact (or at least in rumor, if you will), Yahoo may be working on a product with OneRiot right now.
Real-time search engine Collecta announced the release of its API today, meaning developers will be able to use it to pull real-time search results directly into their applications.
OneRiot, one of the real-time search engines whose name we keep hearing again and again has secured $7 million in Series C funding from Appian Ventures, Commonwealth Capital Ventures, and Spark Capital, the company’s existing venture capital firms.
"This commitment from our existing investors is a big vote of confidence in the realtime search market, OneRiot’s product offering, and our team’s ability to execute," said Kimbal Musk, OneRiot’s CEO.
