ParticipantYahoo! are working on the Serach algorithum and you will have failed results.
CNET news was on about Yahoo getting thousands of complaints about it.
To whether this will all tie in with an improved filter on yahoo! services is anyones guess.

MemberI was thinking. Could the yahoo personals department have torpedoed the members.yahoo.com search? I mean why pay $20 per month to meet women who want to go on dates and have relationships when you can chat women up on messenger and get easy sex? I have never had any luck with yahoo personals. The responses get into lengthy go nowhere e-mail back/forth sessions before they fizzle out. Yahoo messenger has been very good to me. I say that with a big smile and grin across my face.
Without members search I can’t find new female potential sex partner
contacts. Doesn’t mean I’ll plunck down $20/month for the date and
relationship personals. But some other desperate souls just might.
More cash for yahoo by turning members search off.Oh well, adios. I have this bad feeling the personals people inside yahoo asked their bosses to ask the techies to turn the members search off.
It was bad for their business.August 10, 2006 at 2:31 am #94077Kivrin
MemberHello 🙂
I noticed that most of these “Yahoo member search” posts are almost a year old or more. And they are mostly referring to “online” searches. I’ve noticed in the last few months that almost all my searches come up as “Found 0 ” and I am not just looking for online. I even looked up my own Yahoo ID and did not find it. And I know I exist :-p I checked 5 different ID’s that I know all exist and it came back 0 Found on all of them. I was curious of anyone else is still having problems with this? Sorry to bring this up again, but since these original posts are old, I was curious if this was still an issue, or if there was a fix found that I’m missing?October 15, 2006 at 7:37 pm #94078enorton43

Hello…
I am facing the strange problem since two days.
when i search for online members it is giving 0 results..is it yahoo problem or problem with my browser..please help me..
thanksYahoo took that offline for whatever reason. I suppose it’s for the same reason they took a members option to create a chat room. To protect members from being contacted without knowing the one contacting them.
Yahoo is in a real mess right now because they are scrambling to catch up to Google.
I would expect that Yahoo free services are about to come a thing of the past. Much like MSN’s chat and profiles searches. MSN shut all of that down last week.

MemberKivrin, I’m having those same problems and have been for about two weeks now. Member Search and Advanced Search locate no one. Also, when I go to Yahoo Interests, the only page that dispays in a given interest is New Members. All other criteria show “0 members found”.
I thought this was a problem with the page loading, so I have been wracking my brains checking various options with javascript and active-x, as well as checking my display adapters and registry.
Is it really too much for Yahoo to send us an e-mail or other note and let us know what is going on?October 21, 2006 at 10:07 pm #94044Jeff Hester
KeymasterThis happened before for a few months. Keep your fingers crossed for a little while longer.
Searching members directory is not gone untill the pages are gone!!!

MemberI personally haven’t seen this work for years now. I’m curious as to why the pages still exist. Also, why hasn’t yahoo answered the question in their help. I have contacted yahoo about the issue with no response. Maybe, eventually people will all go to Myspace and then what will yahoo do with their dwindling numbers of active users?
