Back in May, Yahoo launched a new variant of search entitled “Glue,” something which  combines news, images, videos, and other content from around the Web (and other Yahoo properties) along with traditional search results that link to web pages.

We just received word here at Mashable that Yahoo found the service so successful in their India test launch that they’re extending the product for inclusion in US search results off main Yahoo.com search queries.

They’re starting out with a limited set of search terms, pulling content from Wikipedia entries, Flickr photos, YouTube videos, and news. It’s an interesting way to get at-a-glance update on who a particular new player in the news might be or for a quick briefing on what might be going on about a certain current event, very similar to the modus operandi over at Mahalo.
