Typing in my website name in the search field on Yahoo brings up old page(s) info.  Can someone explain why?

Hi,\n\nThis is totally normal because all search engines works based on reading and strong now and then process later. This is one part of crawling techniques they use. \nyou have below choices:\n\n1) Wait for couple of MONTHS and they will eliminate those non existing links from their DBs automatically.\n2) If those pages are some Active Pages (ASP, ASPX, PHP etc) you can modify them to redirect automatically to the new pages you want to. (I can help you with that) you must have access to your hosting plan and your site pages for this solution.

This isn't Google that is remembering your searches, it is your browser.  Depending on which browser and operating system that you are using, you need to clear the saved form data from the browser memory and disable the feature so it won't remember future form data.\n\nIn Firefox, you can remove the information in two ways.  Select Tools, click "Clear Private Data..."  Check the "Saved Form Information" checkbox.  Be sure that only the information that you want removed has a check in the checkbox, otherwise you might delete information that you want to keep (i.e. history, saved passwords).  After you've made your checkmarks, click the "Clear Private Data Now" button.\n\nThe other way to do this is:\nWindows - Select Tools, Select Options..new window opens.\nMac - Select Firefox, Select Preferences..new window opens.\nIn the new window, Select Privacy.  Click the "Saved Forms" tab.  Click "Clear Saved Form Data Now".\n\nIt is in this preferences/option window where you will also disable the feature for the future.  Uncheck the "Save information I enter in forms and search fields".  Click "Ok" (Windows) or Close the window (Mac).\n\nOn Internet Explorer 7, you will need to perform a similar process.  Select Tools, Select Internet Options.  Under the "General Section", you will find the options to remove saved form data.  You will also need to disable the feature in the "Advanced" section.

You probably mean the history which is saved by the browser. On firefox do this:\nEdit->Preferences or Tools->Options\nChoose Privacy (on the left hand side)\nSelect "Saved form information" and press "clear".\n\nIf you're using Internet Explorer, then to to\nTools->Internet Options\nChoose the "Content" tab.\nClick on "Auto complete" and press on "Clear Forms".

For Internet Explorer:  Tools -> Internet Options -> Clear History\n\nOther browsers have similar methods.

Yahoo is displaying that based on IP. so probably its directing one pc to the new site and the other one to the old

If it's the regular search form on their website, you need to delete the history in your browser. You can do this by going to Tool->Internet Options. Click on the Content tab and click on the Autocomplete button. Then click the "Clear Forms" button.\n\nIf you are referring to the search bar within the Yahoo toolbar, you can clear the list by starting to type in the box. As the history comes up, there is a button that says "Clear". Click that.

Not sure about search history, but if you use Firefox to browse, it keeps a history of all pages you visited. Highly recommend to install the all-in-one sidebar too.\n\nEdit: just saw girl2000ss' post above, that's right, both Yahoo and Google toolbars have this arrow next to the search text box. BTW, I figured relevance of Yahoo search is very close to Google already. Go Yahoo!

Yahoo! Toolbar will remember your recent searches so that you can easily find the things you searched for previously. However, there are several ways you can clear the search history in the toolbar. \n\nIf you want to remove all the entries in your search history right now, but you still want Yahoo! Toolbar to remember your searches in the future, do the following: \n\nClick on the Pencil menu \nSelect "Clear Recent Searches" \nIf you want to save your recent searches while you're searching on the web, but to automatically clear the saved searches when you close your browser window, do the following: \n\nClick on the Pencil menu \nSelect "Toolbar Options" \nSelect "Auto clear recent searches when exiting IE" so that there is a checkmark in the box next to it. \nClick "OK" \nIf you want to disable the feature entirely so none of your searches are saved, do the following: \n\nClick on the Pencil menu \nSelect "Toolbar Options" \nClick "Remember Recent Searches" so that there is not a checkmark in the box next to it \nClick "OK" \nNote: Yahoo! Toolbar for Mozilla Firefox currently does not have the ability to disable the search history or automatically clear it on exit. Those features will be added in a future release. \n\nIf you have disabled the search history in Yahoo! Toolbar but are still seeing items suggested when you type, your browser is saving that information. For Internet Explorer, check your options under Tools>Internet Options>AutoFill. For Mozilla Firefox, check Tools>Options>Privacy>Saved Form Information.

If you want a specific site, type it in the address bar.  Typing a site name in the Yahoo! search bar will give only results found by the Yahoo! search engine.\n\nAlso, if you type the name in the address bar and another site with a similar name comes up, this may be due to a setting in Internet Explorer which allows it to find the site you're most likely looking for, rather than exactly what you typed in the address bar.

Go to Tools, Internet Options,  near the bottom of the window there is button for 'Clear History'.\n\nI'd recommend clearing your Cache and Cookies as well.

I checked out the page, and it looks like Yahoo! might have passed it over for not meeting their search content quality guidelines: http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/ysearch/indexing/indexing-14.html\n\nHowever, if it's a new site, it may still be indexed later after Yahoo! follows a link to it from elsewhere.

Most browsers will cache or store the information you type into forms to make it easier for you to fill them out in the future. A side effect of this is that when you use a search engine like Yahoo!, your browser saves the terms you enter into the search field. These terms are then displayed in a dropdown menu format the next time you use that search engine.\n\nIf you are using Internet Explorer, you can delete these saved search terms by going to Tools->Internet Options->the Content tab->AutoComplete->Clear Forms.\n\nTo delete the saved search terms in Firefox or Netscape 8, go to Tools->Options->Privacy->Saved Forms->Clear Saved Form Data Now.\n\nFor other browsers, check out http://www.netfaqs.com/
