Yahoo search migration

Yahoo has shed Google from its search, but early reports are that muddy paid-listings notifications are disappointing.
Try it:
- Digital cameras, Google
- Digital cameras, Yahoo
- Weblogs, Google
- Weblogs, Yahoo
- Stevie Wonder, Google
- Stevie Wonder, Yahoo
I dunno; so far I think Yahoo looks pretty good. And Google's search results have been messier than usual the last few months. Then again, I still wish Yahoo's directory trees reigned supreme, on the theory that human categorization trumps automation in the end, so long as it's consistently maintained (which it usually is not).
