A company that provides "instant-on" computing1 will bring "instant search" to the PC for the first time.

一家可以提供“瞬时”计算的公司将第一次为电脑带来“瞬时搜索”。

Splashtop, made by DeviceVM, already lets consumers access email, chat with friends, share photos or surf the web seconds after turning on their PC.

The deal involves three search leaders including Yahoo in the US and Japan, Baidu in China and Yandex in Russia.

DeviceVM's Dave Bottoms said the deals make sense because web searching is fundamental to computer users.

"Search is the tip of the iceberg3(小部分,表面部分) in being able to offer a lot of different web services, but when you think about where people spend their time online, it's in search," Mr Bottoms, senior director of product management, told BBC News.

"I think this is the next new start experience frontier we are witnessing at the device level."

A web analytics firm, Comscore, found that in June alone Americans conducted more than 14 billion core searches, up from 10.8 billion in 2008.

"A lot of people use search as a basic navigation tool," said DeviceVM's marketing4 director Sergey Krupenin.

"Instead of typing in Facebook.com in the address bar, users are typing it into the search box."

'Accessible'

Depending on what part of the world users are in, as soon as they switch on their computer, they will be greeted by a front page that offers a free Yahoo branded search box or one that says Yandex or Baidu.

"Web search has emerged as the dominant5 and universal navigation tool...and providing instant search will further expand our search leadership in China, the largest and fastest growing internet search market in the world," said Haoyu Shen, vice2 president of operations for Baidu.

"The search distribution landscape is changing, and instant search is one of the ways Yahoo provides our users with a convenient and highly accessible Yahoo search experience," said Tim Mayer, vice president of North America search and social experiences for Yahoo.

In America analysts6 are not so sure this "instant-search" feature will make a big difference in driving more users to Yahoo, which has 20% of the US market versus(与……对比) Google's 65% share.

"I don't think these deals have a dramatic impact on market share," said Greg Sterling7 of search news site SearchEngineLand.

"People's habits are fairly well established now when they go online. However some people will undoubtedly8 use Yahoo for their search because they are lazy and it's right in front of them," said Mr Sterling.

"That might mean Yahoo will get an incremental9(增量的,增加的) bump, but it won't be significant."
