I'm having a a good time playing with the newYahoo! Messenger Search IMV. I can see it being helpful to teach my family how to be better searchers. At work I play with it to look up random information as I chat-- such as when people tease me about my powerful sneeze, I can look up odd facts on sneezing. Try it-- I can imagine some really cool applications of it if we could take it still farther....

This reminds me of a product about 4 years ago that AV was doing competitive studies with. I can't remember the name, but you basically could surf the web with a chat component. Search was a big component, but it was basically surfing the web and group IM at the same time. You can "push" the URL of the website to folks in the same chat room. I thought this was really helpful when I was planning to buy a group gift and shop together online.
