Results different based on location?

I am on the west coast of Canada and see my site at #8 while my boss in Florida says we are #1 on his listings. Is anyone else seeing this sort of thing or know why we are getting different results.

I guess I am the only one?

I am not sure what interfaces you are both accessing but you are probably getting regionally influenced results.

I am getting the same thing -- different results for the same keyword from computers 2 miles away from each other in the same state.

I just checked yahoo.ca and when I search "All The Web" I see the same thing as they do in Florida at the .com, when I search from yahoo.com it appears I am seeing very different results.

I am getting same results from Yahoo and Google searches here in St. Louis. Glad to see I'm not the only one.

I've been having this same problem where I get the same results from Yahoo and Google for the last four days.

I have now found if I use:

[yahoo.com...] instead of www.yahoo.com for my searches, I get the results I would expect from Yahoo.

Anyone having the same experience?

I think I found the problem... Not absolutely sure this is the fix, but things are back to normal on my end once I wiped out cookies related to Yahoo.

Would like to hear if this fixes anyone else's problem.
