Yahoo! has just launched a new product called Search Direct , which is still in the beta stage. When you begin typing at search.yahoo.com a small box slides down giving you the search results as fast as you can type and then presents those results generating a quick and simple search experience.
With Search Direct, Yahoo! content is combined with information from the Web to provide rich answers, not just links, and to give people the option to immediately engage or continue to a traditional search results page. In this beta release, coverage includes top trending searches, movies, TV, sports teams and players, weather, local, travel, stocks, and shopping categories now available at search.yahoo.com.
Below is a link to the video that explains how Yahoo! search Direct works:

So how this will this affect Google usage is still undetermined but at least yahoo! is stepping up their game!
