I switched to Yahoo as well, because I was not happy with what Google is doing. I just gave
http://www.cuil.com/ a try and it looks pretty good!
Don't tell Crystal, but I'm sending myself a reminder about CUIL from Crystal's email. (She and Coco went out in the rain and got soaked. Now they're upstairs changing clothes.) There's still some putridy on CUIL but it is not nearly as putrid as Google.
