Somehow after about 6 years in Y! our site stopped appearing in the SERPS when Y dropped G. I went to Y and searched for [my-example.com...] (we have a dash in our domain name.) It came back:

Did you mean: www.my-example.com or www.myexample.net? (NO DASH!) We didn't find any Web pages containing [my-example.com....]

Suggestions:
- Check your spelling.
- Try going directly to my-examplee.com. (EXTRA LETTERS!)
- Find web pages that contain "my-exampleee.com". (EXTRA LETTERS!)

Any ideas what is up with this? We did not do any changes to our site that would make it get dropped after 6 years. I am just wondering if these results mean that Y! has messed up on our listing/domain or something? The misspell in their response and them missing the dash makes me think that their DB is just totally screwed up.

For what it's worth, in the Y! directory we are listed as my-example.com---no WWW or http://
