Yahoo Ranking

• You're not sure how to describe what you want, or you're searching for words with multiple meanings. Behind the scenes, our editors build in synonyms, cross-references, and relationships between subjects. For example, when you're ready for your close up, you might search for "casting" to get an audition. Your results will include sites from the related Directory category:

Talent and Crew > Talent Agencies

You can browse this list of sites and subcategories, or search for "casting" services just within Talent Agencies, rather than on the entire Web. This guarantees your results won't refer to another kind of casting, such as plaster or die casting.

• You want a better understanding of the subject you're searching for. For example, search the Directory for "bugs" and you'll see:

Arthropods > Insects

In this category, you'll find listings for individual creatures from antlions to wasps, along with such topics as entomophagy (insects as food) and pest management. Web Results for "bugs" alone will give you a much narrower view.
