Yahoo! SearchMonkey lets anyone create “applications” that enhance the Yahoo! search results of users that have chosen to add them.

Following last.fm’s lead today, I created an example application for Nature Reviews Immunology – if you have a Yahoo account, you can add it to your customisations and then see an enhanced search result. [note: it seems to be intermittently not showing up, hopefully it’ll settle down soon]

It makes use of the article metadata that was recently added in meta tags to Nature.com journal articles (and could equally easily make use of any metadata embedded as RDFa – the information is extracted from the pages using PHP and XPath).
