INTERNET PORTAL Yahoo has launched an instant search engine beta called Search Direct that will rival Google Instant.

The search engine will show results as users type in search terms, dynamically updating as soon as letters or words are changed. Yahoo is promising "direct answers" and "direct results" through its updated search engine, which it says will deliver a fast and simple search experience.

Search Direct will come with a number of features similar to those offered by Google. Trending searches will be displayed, which will be updated every 10 minutes. Search previews are available to see if the results are appropriate.

Yahoo also promises to display additional content at the top of searches for sports, news and finance, utilising its existing news, forecast and stock exchange services. In the future it plans to add more to this in the form of popular music and local listings.

Initially the public beta will only be available in the US, but Yahoo plans to expand its reach later this year.
