The time difference between China and America, plus the vagaries of NBC's scheduling, may leave people missing something at the Summer Olympics.

One might be naïve enough to think in this modern era of broadband Internet and online video that an event of Olympic magnitude delivers enough opportunities for people to keep up with all the events, athletes, and countries.

It's not perfect yet, even though enthusiastic fans do their best to share video and pictures outside the official purview of the International Olympic Committee. The clever tinkerers at the Yahoo Search blog let everyone know they rolled out something new to help sate the demand for Olympic content.

They placed an image carousel in Yahoo Search, set to appear when querying for Olympic-related photos. Searches for swimmer Michael Phelps or other Olympians brings forth the available, freshest photos out of the Yahoo repository.

Yahoo's Shortcuts also placed a few handy ones out there to deliver extra information to searches. Do a query at Yahoo on medal counts, results, schedules, and get back the most current Olympic details placed prominently in the search results.
