I have a few questions about Yahoo and their results.

Do they use relevency for their results? What do you "call" the first results delivered-- Yahoo's own results? And does Yahoo still use alphabetical listings?

Order:

1. most applicable or popular categories (not sure which)

2. sponsored listings from Overture

3. web site matches from multiple categories in the directory....Google PR may be influencing relevency. Search word must be in title, description, or URL.

4. web page matches from Google when no sites in directory adequately match your search

Alphabetical listings only seem to have an impact when drilling down through the directory listings themselves and not through a search through the search box.
