The goal of these customer visits was simple — have every team member understand at a very personal level how their customers use search in their daily lives.

By observing our customers where they actually search, we saw how they chose a search engine for different tasks, scanned a results page and what they expected to see — whether it was a hedge fund analyst doing company research, a teacher building a lesson plan or, in my case, a parent researching images of Peter Pan for a blog she was creating for the local elementary school's play.â€
More features that better Yahoo! Search only benefits us. So, keep up the god work!
