Yahoo are predicted today to unveil a project by the name of “Search Monkey”. Search Monkey will apparently be a set of open-source tools that allow users and publishers to annotate and enhance search results associated with specific web sites.

Unlike Yahoo’s “Shortcuts” that sometimes appear at the top of the search page, new enhancements can be applied to any web site.

Publishers can enter additional information that will be displayed with the web search result. For example, retailers can include product information, restaurants can include links to menus, reviews, local merchants can display operating hours, address and phone information, and so on—far more information than a Title, URL and description that make up current generation search results.
