Yahoo shopping, the blatant push

When you do a search on Yahoo's search area, search.yahoo.com, they have a tabbed category that you can have come up which is products. The problem with Yahoo is the results only come up with Yahoo stores, uggghhh, and sponsored results from Overture. I guess as a search engine, they don't need to offer relevant results on where to find products. It's always a Yahoo store, which most of them aren't so good. Is that really what a search engine should be doing? When relevancy matters on products you're trying to find, shouldn't that be broadened to the web? Well, of course you can always search the web and get an answer that is more unbiased and probably try Google before you do anything with Yahoo's pushed solution. This is the one aspect about Y I don't like. They do so many other things right.

It's such a blatant push and because they have an interest in it, they're no better than A9.com pushing Amazon shopping while you're searching. The money will always be getting in the way of really good search tools. It always have and it always will.
