Yahoo Search Not Working

< It might have just been a temporary fluke ... >

Anyhow...

Starting with
https://search.yahoo.com/yhs/search;_yl ... 001&nojs=1

And with that you get a bunch of crap URLs (both in quality & in actual URL returned)

Center-clicking one of the links gave me a "404" (& I might have pulled the wrong example, but)
https://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt%20A0LEV ... 5890938168

"The requested URL was not found on this server.

Please check the URL for proper spelling and capitalization. If you're having trouble locating a destination on Yahoo, try visiting the Yahoo home page or look through a list of Yahoo's online services. Also, you may find what you're looking for if you try searching below."


I then disallowed yahoo.com, tried again, & it worked.
Re-allowed yahoo.com, tried again, & it still worked.


Anyhow, that did remind me of, Clean Yahoo Search Links.
