Anddd this is why I no longer use Google but rely on DuckDuckGo.

  So you use Yahoo.com which itself uses Bing.com. DuckDuchGo (DDG) is a meta search engine that relies on the Yahoo & Yandex search API (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_Search_BOSS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_Search_BOSS) and adds some related Wikipedia/Yelp/Yummly/etc. snips. So if Bing.com implements a similar rank algorithms your DDG/Yahoo results will too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DuckDuckGo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DuckDuckGo

    It's meta-searchengine-ness is exactly why I personally use it. A `!` away from any search engine I need.
