Strange Yahoo! search results

Something very strange just happened to me while searching on Yahoo!. First, a prelude: Half an hour ago, while performing a search on Yahoo!, I got an empty result, with a message telling me there was a problem, and that I should retry. I did not capture that screen. Retrying the search finally succeeded.

Now, a few minutes ago, while performing another search on Yahoo! for "print single page outlook 2007", I got the following results:

As you can see, the advertising matches my search, but the results seems to indicate a search for "Pastor John Stirling Blog" (terms in bold), or something like that. That's scary. Very scary. Imagine my son searching for a child TV program, and ending on something for older eyes. Or it could simply make people think there's nothing about one subject while there should have been.

Here's the full window, if you're curious.

P.S.: Repeating the same search did give me the correct results.
