FireFox Okapiland Plugin

If you're a Firefox user, you might be interested in the Firefox Okapiland Plugin, a search plugin that aims to provide Yahoo Search in a Composite Page Mode (YahooCPM). What this means is that instead of just displaying hyperlinks, linked pages are also displayed within the search results. This can be really helpful when you are trying to do a deeper search, or when your search query is ambiguous.

One of the benefits of using the CPM is that you can save a lot of effort that would typically be required with a regular deep search. Another benefit is the improved security that the plugin provides. To prevent unauthorized intruders, the dynamic type of content such as JavaScript or Applet is not displayed.

All Yahoo searches are handled through Yahoo! Search Web Services, and this plugin is just one of many search plugins that you can use with Firefox. Once installed, you will find the YahooCPM option within the Firefox Search Bar.

In essence, Yahoo! Search is for quick searches, while YahooCPM is best suited for much deeper searches. The Firefox Okapiland Plugin is bundled with Okapiland Explorer, making it a useful addition to your web search arsenal.
