Yahoo! Mail Beta shortcuts revealed
Today, Ryan Kennedy demonstrated why he's the right guy to be the Yahoo! Mail Beta evangelist. One of the best-kept secrets within the new Yahoo! Mail Beta have been the search shortcuts. We've learned a little about them from Josh here and in Ryan's post today at the Y! Mail Updates blog. But the frosting on the cake is the complete reference page provided here.Ryan promises this will be updated when new shortcuts are rolled out and existing ones change. Thanks Ryan!
The second best-kept secret? While holding down the Ctrl button, click on the Subject line of a viewed email. This generates a search result with all emails with the same subject line. A threaded view of sorts.

I'm not sure I'd consider the search stuff "kept secrets"...more like "under advertised features".
Look for us to make the full power of search easier to harness in upcoming releases of Yahoo! Mail Beta. We've got some great stuff up our sleeves. ;)

AOL's web mail has had something similar for some time now. They call it something like "search by subject" or something like that. I think they can also can search for other messages from the same sender. Both can be done by just right-clicking on the email while in the inbox.

Seems to be quite a useful feature. Shortcuts always rock in any application, and this takes it a step closer to a desktop app.
Its a pity I have been unable to switch to the beta mail though, receiving a "Couldn't open mailbox" error whenever i tried to switch. Unfortunately, yahoo support hasent responded, and those one the web with similar problems, have no solutions.
