Yahoo has updated its search results to include recent headlines more quickly.

'Because we're better able to detect when a query is about a breaking-news topic, we're able to deliver fresher results when it matters most,' Paul Yiu of Yahoo search product management and Jean-Francois Crespo of Yahoo search research and development said in a Friday blog posting.
