Easy Peasy: Yahoo! Search Hacks

CNET Insider Secrets+Yahoo! Hacks: "Using Yahoo Web Search is deceptively simple. You can type in any word or phrase and find matches in documents across the Web.

Paul Bausch, co-creator of the weblog software Blogger, has put together an excellent tutorial (including video) on how to get the most out of Yahoo! Search.
