Shortcuts are special features designed to get answers quickly, without all the searching. Answer-based queries commonly focus on subjects such as definitions or facts, but as Yahoo! shows us, the direct answers don't stop there. Traffic reports for your town, local gas prices, maps, and hotels, in addition to traditional answers such as synonyms and definitions, are all just a click away if you know the right search shortcut. Check out the list below to find out how Yahoo! can make life easier for you with shortcuts.
