This document provides instructions for using Yahoo SearchMonkey, which allows publishers to create plug-ins that enhance search results on Yahoo. It outlines the multi-step process for users to select and add plug-ins to their search results, including reviewing the plug-in gallery, clicking both an add and save button, and seeing how the enhanced results improve the search experience. However, the document notes that the process of adding enhancements is overly complicated and most users will not take the steps required, so Yahoo needs to simplify it for users.
