I'm sorry, I posted the wrong link.

You have to include a query to see the different display. For example:

[m19.search.yahoo.com...]

Goes directly to "web pages" instead of the Directory or "web sites" first.

I just found this myself and came to post it.... I guess I'm a day late and a dollar short:)

yeah.... re:crooked yahoogle

...looks like as you follow 'next' links (surfing the main listings) they start kicking you out and force you to get google results.... I found that the next links point to 2 different versions of yahoogle.... the one that we all know (with the google logo on it) and another, more devious one, that doesn't have the logo (but you know it is Google b/c of the tiltle and the 'More Results From: www...' link at the bottom.)

so basically, you might drill down from an initial search, hit the next 20 results, and pick up the next 20 from google.... but not the first 20.... hehehehhe now that is quality search!

...and they are charging $300-$600 a year to be in here?... and they don't even use their own results first? I thought these were back up results?
