    Many people have the problem you are going through and Y!A is not saying boo about it

    Agreed, this sh!t sucks now.

    I WILL NEVER USE BING. IT IS THE WORST SEARCH ENGINE.

    Here's a tip (and what I've been doing lately since the Y!A search is absolutely horrible), I type in what I'm looking for in Google followed by Yahoo Answers. This way you can use the superior search engine (Google), and find what you are looking for on Yahoo Answers!

    I agree before these changes Yahooanswers was alot better.But with these changes ive answered more and more questions.But of course that is your opinion.And im with you 51% and against you 49%.And i dont get what you mean i typed in hit and click search answers and it had alot of questions the yahooanswers search is the same but some SOME other changes were a little down.

    Partly because Yahoo! sucks big fat donkey testicles and enjoys every lasting second of it.

    What I do not understand, about 30% of the answers selected/voted aren't even correct answers to the questions asked.

    In the end, I just want to say FuckY0u Yahoo! about 50 or so times. I apologize forehand if some of you readers are offended, however, I'm just exercising my freedom of speech. :P

    OH MY GOD! I have the same problem before all i had to do was type some keywords in the search engine and my question would be there but now i have to actually ask the question ;( its bullshit thats all i used yahoo answers for and now it sucks.

    I HATE this problem. Before it was so convenient! Either the problem needs to be fixed or they just want us to be wasting points by asking new questions. The new Y!A and its search engine are useless right now!

    I think Yahoo needs to fire their management team and have a team that really listens to what people who use this site have to say. They are doing a terrible job at explaining why they do things as well.

    I'm going through the same thing. Like, the question I type in doesn't even SLIGHTLY resemble the answers they give me. It's hard to explain, but I know what you mean :/ It's pissing me off.
