For quite some time speculations were going on about an update at Yahoo!. And now Yahoo! has got some new changes to look forward to its searching capabilities. The news of an updated index was published in their blog titled, "Weather Report: Yahoo! Search update".

As Yahoo! says, “We've rolled out some changes to our index with fresh web data and updates to our crawling, indexing and ranking algorithms over the last few days. We expect the update will be completed very soon. Throughout this process you may see some changes in ranking as well as some shuffling of the pages in the index.”

After the launch of Dynamic URL Rewriting in Site Explorer, this is the first major update done by Yahoo!. The company is confident about the latest update. It says, “We've had millions of URLs rewritten based on your submissions and your sites should have seen smarter crawling from Yahoo! Slurp as a result. You will see further benefits in how your site is represented in the index from this update. Your input improves relevance and coverage for users in search results, particularly in relation to your site.”

Yahoo! Thanks everyone who believes in them to improve their site and has given their suggestions for the latest changes.
