We all know that normally Yahoo looks for keywords in the title, description and category (with title being the most important), but I've started to see some weird results lately. Take a look at this search for vinyl windows
http://search.yahoo.com/bin/search?p=vinyl+windows
The #10 listings, Plastiques Industriels RPG Ltee, has no keywords anywhere and is beating a 271 sites that actually have keywords in these places. Could Yahoo be starting to index the actual pages instead of just title, description and category?

I think they are massaging the data with some 'other' factor. I don't believe they are spidering themselves. I think they are giving a slight boost to sites who've laid out the expre$$ service cash and the other part is just changing the search algo. btw: whats the best thing to clean vinyl windows with? (I put in a new screen porch last fall with vinyl windows...  What a waste of cash that was, but a good tax/mortage writeoff...
