By accepting Yahoo's "typical" installation of YIM with Voice, it will also download Yahoo's Search Toolbar with anti-spyware and anti-pop-up software, desktop and system tray shortcuts, as well as Yahoo Extras, which will insert Yahoo links into the Internet Explorer browser. The IM client also contains "live words", which will automatically show an icon when the user highlights words online and then hyperlink to Yahoo search results, definitions or translation tools. Finally, the installation will alter the users' homepage and auto-search functions to point to Yahoo by default.
I am not sure if this is posted already, but thought should post it.
Today when I was talking with a buddy I noticed a line below the word Yahoo in IM window and upon rollover noticed that it showed search results based on that word. I tried using many other words to see if it worked, but seemed like the only word it worked for me was yahoo/Yahoo.
I think they are testing this and might be thinking of using smart tags for other keywords too.
Anyway here is a snapshot of it:
