Google, Yahoo and other se's?

What is up with Google and Yahoo in last few days?

I watch very diligently how my site ranks for certain keywords (it usually has 2 listings in the top ten in Google and one in Yahoo), but I have noticed very very strange behavior of late with both engines.

With Google, typing in keywords results in different results within seconds of each other. I think that there is some alliance now with search123, because when I opened up a minimal account with them, my site shows up consistently again - often in duplicate!

Anyone else notice this or am I just not close enough to the press releases and inside on this?

Not that I am aware of. It is not unusual to get slightly different results, it depends on which data center you hit at the time of your query.
