Is anyone having issues with the Yahoo search?

Anyone having problems with web search bar on Yahoo homepage?

  • Anyone having problems with Yahoo's search bar? I am using FireFox 3.6.8 and every time I do my first search my results get displayed with no problem. However if I were to do a second search again I get a "Problem loading Page" screen. This only happens if I have 4 or more key words typed in the search bar. Having 1, 2 or 3 words in my second search oddly does not cause this problem. For example: 1st search type - one two three four. 2nd search type - one two three four five <---- when I do this it messes up 3rd search type - one two three six <----- still messes up 4th search type - one two three <----- search results show up fine So what gives? Is this just me? Is this just Firefox? The only way to get around this is to start back on the homepage if I want to do a search that has four or more words in it.

  • Answer:

    Maybe it has somethng to do with Yahoo Enhanced Search, might turn it off and see if it makes a difference: To enable or disable the features in the Enhanced Search box, start typing in the search box and select "Edit" or "Options" (depending on which version of Yahoo! Toolbar you have) in the menu that appears. Uncheck the features that you don't want to use. http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/toolbar/troubleshootie/toolbar-61.html On Firefox: Search suggestions help you to find out common phrases that other people have searched for. The search suggestions are offered by the search engines (such as Google, Yahoo, etc.) and not by Firefox. Firefox merely retrieves the search suggestions from the search engines, and displays the list to assist you in selecting a search phrase that has been used by many other users throughout the world before. http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Search+suggestions
