Yahoo (YHOO) just launched their new search engine platform API, SearchMonkey. Basically, now developers can customize Yahoo’s search engine results using their API tool.

Sorta like this:

It’s a great way to customize their search engine without Yahoo doing any work. Lol…but this will be great for developers as you could make some serious cash with a great app.

With SearchMonkey, developers have a hand in shaping the next generation of search by building customized search results and mash-ups that users can add to their Yahoo! Search experience. By leveraging structured data from sites like CitySearch, StumbleUpon, eBay, or Epicurious.com, developers can add navigational links, reviews, contact information, and even locations to provide enhanced search listings.

Developers can build two types of applications using SearchMonkey: Enhanced Results and Infobars. Enhanced Results replace the current standard results with a richer display. All the links in the Enhanced Results must point to the site to which the result refers. Infobars are appended below search results and can include metadata about the result, related links or content, or links for user actions (such as adding a movie to a Netflix queue).
