This is odd. Search Engine Lowdown is reporting on a posting at ResourceShelf that briefly describes Yahoo Search's "refinements" or "suggestions."

The odd thing is that this isn't new at all. I know because I worked on the original version about a year ago (and then Google copied it). At the time we called it "related search" and probably still do.

That project was a lot of fun, too. :-)

I explore the reasons why related searches are one of the 3 possible ways to solve the user context problem.

I look forward to your comments on my post at my blog
