Yahoo Search: 'keyword1 keyword2' = 'keyword2 keyword1'

FYI

...just noticed that when I search 'keyword1 keyword2', I get the same results as I do when I search on 'keyword2 keyword1'... just FYI:)

Important observation for description writing. Thanks dogboy.

I did some testing myself. And I found that I get generally different results.

For example:

A search for 'hot peppers' [search.yahoo.com...] lists the top three categories as being

Entertainment > Music > Artists > By Genre > Rock and Pop 
*Red Hot Chili Peppers  
Business and Economy > Shopping and Services > Food and Drink > Condiments and Sauces 
*Chiles and Pepper Products  
Business and Economy > Shopping and Services > Music > Memorabilia > By Artist 
*Red Hot Chili Peppers  

The search for 'peppers hot' [search.yahoo.com...] yields the following

Entertainment > Music > Artists > By Genre > Rock and Pop 
*Red Hot Chili Peppers  
Business and Economy > Shopping and Services > Music > Memorabilia > By Artist 
*Red Hot Chili Peppers  
Business and Economy > Shopping and Services > Food and Drink > Condiments and Sauces > Chiles and Pepper Products 
*Hot Sauce  

With a few more experiments, we can reverse engineer their algorithm, no? ;-)

hey, Bolotomus, thanks for bringing that up.... I tried about 10 searches before I posted that they were the same but felt kinda unsure still... like maybe this was something new, or something that might change. Well, sorry about the misinformation:)
