This is just a quick post to share that we've stopped using the Yahoo! Personal Site Search. We may give it another shot at some point in the future, but for whatever reason, it simply insisted on scanning the raw .php, skipping the process of actually rendering the dynamically-generated .php content based on the Sitemap and, thereby, 'missing' the actual content that makes the site worth visiting. Not sure why they elected to do it this way, but it's suboptimal to say the least -- After all, it's the content that makes any site worthwhile.
Why is this worth mentioning ? Well, if you're hosting with Yahoo!, publishing dynamic content, and interested in deploying Yahoo! Personal Site Search, then you'll perhaps want to read this and weigh your options and the potential benefits. It didn't work for our .php pages -- Will it work for you ? Also, it's funny how the internet works. I tried contacting Yahoo! with the above question and never received a response . . Maybe this will catch their attention. I'm not saying I'm unhappy with Yahoo! -- I'm just saying I deserved a reply to my e-mail to their customer service.
