Strange Filtering

I posted in another thread but I think the issue deserves its own topic.

I am seeing my site being filtered our for only certain kws sometimes. Filtering occurs for terms that have 'keyworda keywordb' with any other terms surround it, i.e. kwc kwa kwb or kwc kwd kwa kwb.

When I do the same search with duplicate filter off, my sites is where it should be.

When I search for content from my site in quotes with 'kwa kwb' present I get tons of scrapers listed before my site.

As we know Yahoo! has more than one DB. This is occuring more than 50% of the time.

Anyone else experince this? Should I make changes or wait a little?

Bumping this up. Did not even realize it was 'cleared' to be in forum. My apologies to mods for resubmitting.

This sounds like an interesting topic, would be nice to expand on this.

Frankly, I have no clue what you mean by "search with duplicate filter off"

Can you be a little clearer?

Same as googles:
&filter=0

but for Yahoo! it is:
&dups=1

Adding this to end of Yahoos! search string will give unfiltered results.

How do you add these to your search?

Just copy and paste that to the ned of the search query in the browser.
