YAHOO serps in USA don't show Google results

Unless you hit the "web page" button. Is this new?

Did I miss this, has yahoo always shown preference to it's paid directory over Google results or is this new?

[JamesR]

yes, they have always promoted their directory above other results. To get Google results directly from a search, you must do a search for words hardly or not found at all in the Yahoo directory.

[martinibuster]

No, no.
1>When you do a search, ALL the results are Yahoo directory.
2>Google serps are EXCLUDED.

3>In the Yahoo serp, you'll see the following links:
Summary ¦ Categories ¦ Web Sites ¦ Web Pages ¦ News ¦ Research Documents

You need to hit "Web Pages" to see the Google results.

I believe that this google exclusion is new. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Still get Google results for backup, don't notice a difference in presenting the results but i don't use Yahoo that often either.

it has always been like that

[EliteWeb]

Always been like that. The only way the google results show first is when you type terms that are not found in yahoo's directory listings.
