it’s horrible, it’s crap, it’s bad, its pathetic, it’s BS, it’s everything that is not good and that my friends is the new ‘improved (yeh right)’ yahoo answers search engine. The results of my search have nothing to do with what i searched. Bring back the old search for the good of everyone. Enough said.

I completely agree with everyone that this new search is horrible. There definitely was nothing wrong with it before, and it worked perfectly before the change. I miss the old Y!A.

I personally think that this is an un needed thing that they are adding to Y/A. I personally had no trouble searching qoestions and I also don’t really search other Questions because they usually don’t provide me with the info I am looking for. This is also a classic case of thying to improve the site but instead it makes it worse. Who is going to be searching a question that is over 10 or so days old, and why not just ask your own to get the answers you want?

This is AWFUL, not an improvement. This will, effectively, ensure that I do not participate in Yahoo! Answers anymore. Completely cumbersome and far less easy to use. After 15 minutes I still couldn’t search out open questions like I used to. Not worth the time or effort anymore.

You must require only one user name ID on Y/A. If anyone tries to use someone else’s name that is already taken (for example, Tommy), they need to choose another user name. This will help prevent both confusion and abuse. I’ve spoken up on this matter already, and would like to see this take effect as soon as possible. Thank you.

[...] I was happy to see that Yahoo recently brought the advanced search capabilities more to the forefront, making them a part of the search results page. You can get an idea of how the new result page [...]

You’ve destroyed the utility of almost 20 Bookmarked Advanced Searches, which I used almost daily, and provided no way of recreating them in the new Advanced Search.

Do your designers, analysts, and coders take no care whatsoever as to the “unintended consequences” of your changes to Answers?
