SearchMonkey Now Allows Embedded Rich Media in Yahoo! Results

If you want to have a flash video, game or document appear in Yahoo! results, a new SearchMonkey feature will allow you to do that. All you have to do is add a couple lines of code and the next time Yahoo! crawls that page, the embedded rich media will appear in the results.

Here's an example of a Hulu result with an embedded video next to it:

Here's the code - the first two lines are what create the embed in the Yahoo! results:
