This new search experience collates and integrates the most relevant information from across the Web onto a single visual search results page.

Announcing the launch, here today, Pranesh Anthapur, chief operating officer, Yahoo India R&D said, "The new concept has been developed by the company's software engineers at the Bangalore campus and the Beta version is launched here for the first time ahead of other global markets."

Glue Pages Beta, which aggregates text, images, and video content, is available for select search terms across categories such as health, sports, entertainment, travel, technology and finance.

Designed to save time by offering a new way to find answers quickly, Glue Pages Beta is ideal for topics with broad coverage across a variety of information sources.
