Yahoo! Directory: Am I REALLY listed?

I'm almost embarrassed to ask this, since I suspect it speaks to something very basic about Yahoo's directory that I just don't know about. (I'm kinda new at this...)

Anyway, here's my question:

When we search for our keywords in Yahoo, our site pops up as #1 in the results list. (yay!)

BUT, when the results pop up, there is a message included that reads "powered by HP" --- I assume that indicates I'm looking at fall through results that came from other sources and not from Yahoo?

This makes me wonder if my site is REALLY listed in Yahoo's directory.

Even when I navigate through the directory and find my site in the appropriate category, there is STILL that message "powered by HP."

Does this mean that I'm not really in Yahoo's directory? Or am I just being paranoid?

Thanks in advance,
midori

If you want to check if your website is listed in the directory, insert your URL in this string:

search.yahoo.com/search/dir?p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.YOURDOMAIN.com

Search Technology provided by Google

Says that at the bottom of my screen. Has done for quite some time. They have bought Inktomi and should switch to their own results at some point they afaik they haven't yet...
