Why, oh why does a great site like Yahoo Questions have such a horrible search engine?
Normal search is largely useless, cannot be limited in any way, so you turn up year old questions. Advanced search used to be semi-acceptable, but now it seems almost impossible to change the category being searched. And half the time, when you DO want to limit the search by category, it doesn't work.
