Tried searching for SARS (or SARS related) on both Google and Yahoo and get totally different results.

Anyone know why?

The Yahoo directory has sites about SARS the illness. The last index update was too early to pick up any of these sites, as you will see from the Google results. For some reason Yahoo directory results are given higher prominence in their SERPs than usual.

That's actually pretty smart.. it gives Yahoo! a competitive edge over Google which we're STILL waiting for.
