What to Do About Offensive Content Linked to Your Name in Yahoo! Search Results The Yahoo! Search database reflects content throughout the Internet and is built from billions of documents on websites around the world. Our primary goal is to provide quick, intuitive access to the wide variety of information available on the Web. The search results you see are links to content that has originally been published elsewhere.
If a website has published your personal information or incorrect information about you, you should contact the site owner or site content provider to have that information corrected. Yahoo! does not control and is not responsible for such content. After the site has removed or corrected the published content, the information in the search database is corrected by our normal content refresh processes. You might still see the pages listed in our databases for some time after the site content or control documents are changed. The changes take effect in our search database when the information is updated in our next refresh cycle. On average, this takes place more than once a month. |
