Hello,
When I search for keyword1 keyword3 my site shows up in the Y! results. My domain name is www.keyword1keyword2.com. In the Y! results the keyword1 portion of my url is in bold because it is one of the search terms. I didn't know Google was that good at parsing URLs without hyphens. This would suggest otherwise unless it is something Y! is doing afer it gets the index from Google (or a funtion that is only related to the serp page). Or is it just something I've missed for awhile?
Thanks,
Powdork

I think that after all the backend-results-merging has taken place, they simply apply a regular expression or string replace to change all " keyword" to " <b>keyword</b>". Since Yahoo in its own search in the directory "parses" URLs without hyphens (that is, it searches for the beginning of the search term), the string replacing is done the same way, even for the Google results.
But your domainname does not help you anything for keyword1 in Google.
