http://search.yahoo.com/search/msie?p=MyKeyword&m=i

How would a Y! users get to that url? - It's not the normal Y! search and I can't see how the user gets there?

Any help much appreciated!

could one of two things.

1st I personally use yahoo and google in the IE mode so I'm sure other members do.

2nd Mobile phones, PDA's, those really little laptops use that sought of search

Hmmm... I thought maybe it might be a toobar or sidebar?

The really weird thing is that it lists only directory matches of which I rank #2

The site is one of 256 matches and is not 'most popular'....

Thanks Dave

It looks like the toolbar to me, but I can't prove it.

Has me baffled, but not nearly as much as me appearing #2! - Just wish it was the regular SERPS ;)

I have tried to figure that out many times. I would guess it is some kind of tool bar. The "msie" would lead me to think it is something connected to Microsoft Internet Explorer. Also that search turns up directory results, not the standard Google results.
