Whether on the Web or on the Yahoo! network, you can access a range of features with one simple search. You will find the basic search box on the main Yahoo! page. Or you can visit our ad-free, dedicated Yahoo! Search start page. Just type a question, word, or phrase into the search box and then click Search.

On the Yahoo! Search results page, category tab links above the search box allow you to change the type of search that you are performing. You can use the category tab links to focus your search on images, videos, news, and more. For example, after searching the Web for sites about hybrid cars you can click Images to search the Web for pictures of hybrid cars. Then click News to search the Web for the latest related stories. You can also click the More ›› link to see more search categories.

You can leave your search terms unchanged in the box and click any of these links to see different results for the same search. There is no need to re-enter your search terms or to start your search over. To learn more about the Yahoo! Search results page please visit Understanding the Yahoo! Search Results Page.
