Pardon my technicality, but isn't Yahoo search the exact same engine as google, only with Yahoo's marketing ploys tacked onto the top and side of it?

Not really ... because it also uses yahoo's categories and weighting factors...
If you do a search on Google and then do the same search on Yahoo, you will notice a difference ... my search on the term
Linux Help (on google and yahoo) show very similar 1-10 but from that point on the lists start to diverge.
Yahoo does use the
google technology to perform their searches...
