Does anyone know what data center Yahoo's using to display results?
It looks to me like the one on www, with filters that are dropping out sites.
Any ideas?

It's hard to say. I imagine that Yahoo uses a snapshot of data that Google sends them, so it might not come from any particular DC. Yahoo does modify the data though, changing the titles to match the directory listings, etc.

With all the changes/flux at Google it's hard to tell, usually I'd say www with a Y! filter.

I saw a site today that hits for #2 in Y! (it's a new directory listing) that doesn't cut the mustard in the top 100 in Google. (I quit looking after that)

I'm seeing this too. My site is and has been for several weeks at #1 on Google across all datacenters. It recently moved to #2 on Yahoo. The site at #1 is #2 on Google for the same search. Both are in the Y directory. Maybe some inkfluence?

Today, I noticed, that Yahoo's SERPS on some terms don't appear to come from any of the nine datacenters. Thye are similar, yet some pages are missing?
Strange.

Additionally, the ODP ransom notes (and categories) are at least three months old, and not matching the current G ones.
