Yahoo! Launches SMS Search

July 7th, 2005 | by amarfresh |

It looks like Yahoo is keeping up with the Jonses Google with their announcement of their new SMS search function. Much like Google’s SMS search, users can get access to weather, stock quotes, telephone listings and even horoscopes by simply sending a message to YAHOO (92466).

For instance, to get a 4-day weather forecast for NYC send the following text to 92466:
weather 10019

this will work too:
weather ny, ny

to get your horoscope:
Horo Virgo

Yahoo has a list of all the the SMS search shortcuts you can use.
