Axis is very different from usual search because it doesn't throw up search pages.
Yahoo has introduced a new search-focused iOS browser app and browser plugin for PCs, named Axis. Yahoo Axis is the new mobile web browser for searching and browsing the web on an iPhone or iPad. Yahoo Axis is also available as a browser plugin for desktop users. The Yahoo Axis browser offers search with interactive elements such as visual snapshots and also enables previewing the website before opening it.

The new Axis is focused more on search and promises a rich and interactive mobile web browsing experience. Ethan Batraski, product head for search innovation at Yahoo noted that the design goal for Axis is to eliminate the middle step in the usual tedious web search process. Axis, according to Yahoo, will enable users to go directly from query to page, skipping the step of surfing a sea of links.
Axis is very different from usual search because it doesn't offer any search pages. With multi-tasking support, Yahoo Axis seems to impress iPad owners more than iPhone 4S users. Apart from an intuitive user interface, Axis app allows the user to access recently visited websites, saved articles and bookmarks automatically across all devices.
