Yahoo has launched a new search feature which enables people to send text message queries to its search engine and receive results back on their mobile phones.
Yahoo SMS Search, which is similar to the Google SMS service launched late last year, is currently only available for use by users in the US. The free service allows users to get information on a wide range of subjects including local listings, stock quotes, dictionary definitions, area codes, weather, horoscopes, zip codes and Wi-Fi hotspots.
