We’ve been a big fan of Wikipedia for a while now, and we’ve been working together with the Wikimedia folks to make the Wikipedia even more accessible and easy to use. Now, as part of our larger effort to get people more answers in fewer clicks, when you see a Wikipedia result in Yahoo! Search, we’ll also include a section of links directly to the main sections of the Wikipedia entry, so you can quickly get to the exact information you’re looking for.

Just one example of how this can be useful: here at Yahoo!, we get free coffee as a perk of the job – nothing like a quick pick-me-up to start the day. Since I’m a health-conscious gal, I think a quick search for coffee is a good idea.
