Yahoo has acquired Inquisitor in a move to improve how search results appear on Apple computers.

The Safari browser plug-in offers autocompletion of search queries and shows a pane with search results as users type queries. The plug-in, now in version 3, is a free download.

Terms of the deal weren’t disclosed, but Inquisitor founder and developer David Watanabe is joining Yahoo. “David and our team of Macphiles will continue to innovate on both form and function for Inquisitor,” said Ariel Seidman, director of search product management for Yahoo, in a blog posting Friday.
