According to my referrers from Yahoo today, they are still using Google. Though they modify their version of the Google index, imho, giving a bit more 'weight' to sites that also appear in their directory...

The Yahoo help page was modified last October to say, results come from several 3rd party resources, so unless they issue a press release or something, it'll be up to 'log file watchers' to figure out when / if they've switched to their Inktomi driven database.

Still looks pretty much like straight Google from this location in this niche.

The reason why the results don't always appear to match is google currently is pulling from a bunch of datacenters which have entirely different SERPS. The one's Yahoo! gets can be different from what is live on Google.com at any given time.
