San Francisco (pte030/17.06.2005/13:09) - Yahoo Inc http://www.yahoo.com is testing a new service that allows users to search information on password-protected subscription sites.
In the ever-competitive Internet information sector, Yahoo is trying to keep up with rivals Google http://www.google.com and Ask Jeeves http://www.ask.com , which provide access to books, blogs, journals, news products and video services.
The service, http://search.yahoo.com/subscriptions , called Yahoo! Search Subscriptions, makes it possible to search multiple online subscription content sources and the Web from a single search box.
Among the websites included in the new service are ConsumerReports.org, The Wall Street Journal Online, The New England Journal of Medicine and Forrester Research Inc, with Factiva, LexisNexis' pay-as-you-go AlaCarte service and Thomson Gale to be added in the near future.
Subscribers to websites cans see the content of the sites, while non- subscribers would have to pay to view it.
