I was looking at this Yahoo iPhone page and something stuck out at me:

http://mobile.yahoo.com/apple

The top feature they list for the iPhone is something called oneSearch:

The mobile search that’s got the world cheering comes to the phone everyone’s talking about. Yahoo! oneSearch is designed to get you the answers you need in just one tap on the iPhone.

The other items listed are all Yahoo widgets on the phone, which implies that oneSearch is also a widget... Is this something to come, something that's been cut from launch? :confused:

The "Chief Yahoo!" that spoke at MacWorld was harping on about OneSearch, hinting that they wanted it to show up on the iPhone at some point.

Could it not be the built in Yahoo search in safari?

Doesn't appear to be: oneSearch is something more than a search box... they have it rolled out for other phones:
