This is more like a bug on Yahoo Site Explorer. I've reported this to Yahoo, but they don't seems to get it. Since I know they are reading this forum often and do act on whatever is posted here, I'll try here.

On the Yahoo Site Explorer - after I login with my account and see the bunch of my sites. I have the "Yahoo! Search: <> Explore URL" on the top - the <> is the textbox where I would type the URL i want to explore - when I start typing - it makes the suggestions (like the auto-fill function in IE) - let's say I do select something from the drop down - right after this the "Explore URL" button stops working - I click it nothing happens - I hit enter nothing happens (kind of defits the purpose of search, if I can't search anything...).

I believe the "proprietary" script that they use to display the drop down of possible matches is at fault... I use IE 6.0 on Win2k - just as a check, it works fine on Firefox.

Your JavaScript is turned on, right?

Ok, NOW it is really a usability issue!
Yahoo, just changed that I can't access the site explorer without being logged in. So now I have to login to check site: command, then I still have the above problem with Javascript - as soon as I try to type my site's address in - it suggests it and then disables the "Explore URL" button and the "enter" key! This renders their whole site explorer useless!
