All search engines are welcome. I am not an exclusivist. Just wondering why a powerhouse like google would be having those troubles. It's more a matter of nosy.
I just hope they don't start running their news search like the blogger side runs...shaky.
Google seems to screen out out of date news stories better than yahoo.
