Delete Y! search result?

Question

How do I delete search results on Yahoo Search Engine?

These are my own pages that doesn't exist anymore but for the same reason I can't add them to Yahoo's Site Explorer and delete them that way.

Thanks!

Search engines update their pages several times a year using automated searchers, called "spiders," that check to see what pages and links are still active.  So in a few months, you'll see that your now-deleted pages no longer appear in search results.



I had the same thing happen to me when I deleted my web pages; there was nothing that I could do to erase the results.

If you have a really good reason for not wanting your deleted pages to appear in the search results, try contacting Yahoo directly.
