Vivo and Yahoo launch mobile search

Vivo and Yahoo launched Vivo Search, mobile search tool based on Yahoo! oneSearch. The service organizes condensed results on a single page, including news, weather forecast, finance and images, all optimized for small screens and limited connections.

The proposal is to reduce back and forth between sites, delivering “pocket” answers directly. Vivo gains differential for data customers, Yahoo strengthens presence in Brazil, and users have quick access to information without opening heavy pages in the browser.
