Yahoo! Directory and Search
Yahoo! Directory and Search, helps you find what you are looking for on the Web. Yahoo! Directory and Search does not require you to be a Yahoo! registered user in order to search the Yahoo! Directory or to search web sites.

  • Searching the Directory
    • When visitors conduct a search on Yahoo!, we keep track of which search terms are popular. You can save your searches and access them from your My Yahoo! page.
    • Advertising shown to you may be related to the search term you entered.
  • Suggest a Site
    • If you suggest a site to be considered for inclusion in the Yahoo! Directory, we ask you for some information about the site, your name and email address, geographical and time sensitive information if it is relevant to your site, and any comments you feel may be helpful to us in evaluating your site.
    • We use your email address to notify you about whether your site has been included and may contact you in the future if we have questions about your site.
  • Suggest a Yahoo! Express Site
    • If your site meets certain criteria, you can suggest your site for expedited consideration to the directory for a one-time fee using Yahoo! Express.
    • The Yahoo! Express site suggestion process requests all of the information requested in the standard site suggestion process as well as additional information such as: billing information, credit card information, and information about your company.
  • Picks of the Week
    • You can sign up to have Yahoo!'s Picks of the Week emailed to you directly. Your email address will be used to email you the subscriptions that you specify.
  • Ask Yahoo!
    • If you use "Ask Yahoo!" -- a feature that allows users to ask Yahoo! any question of interest to them -- we ask for your email address, name, city, state, and for your question.
    • You can choose whether you want Yahoo! to refer to you by first name or anonymously.
