Yahoo’s Open Search Platform, code-named “SearchMonkey,” allows third parties to add additional content to their search results such as images and other structured data. The modifications made will only be viewable to those who choose to add them, and in this way, this platform is very similar to GreaseMonkey, but with server-side integration. Third party integration does not affect search rankings, Yahoo says. Platform launch partners include Yelp and The New York Times.
