Yahoo search can embed for videos, games, docs

yahoo_small.jpgADOTAS –  A new Yahoo search feature allows site owners and developers to embed flash video, games, and documents directly in Yahoo Search results.

If a user has a flash video, game, or document (like a presentation or spreadsheet) embedded on a page, adding a few lines of code will make it appear as an enhanced result after Yahoo recrawls your page. Very little semantic markup knowledge is required, and a user doesn’t have to build an application. “SearchMonkey does the heavy lifting, taking your markup and extracting the necessary structured data to display it as an enhanced result.”

You can check out the code used by Hulu to create an enhanced result for a clip from The Simpsons. Just the first two lines of code are required to generate an enhanced result. The other four lines are optional and assist with the display.
