Yahoo releases Mindset – A new twist on search

Yahoo released Mindset today, a beta version of a new twist on web searches. Like normal, the web user can perform a search, but while viewing the results, the web searcher can use a slider to toggle between varying degrees of “Shopping” and “Researching.” It’s certainly an interesting experiment into filtering out commercial content from search results. It’s also interesting to perform a search, then move the slider in each direction and see how the search results change. Could this be the future of search?
