Please bring that feature back.  It was a very good feature, one that let you meet people from all over the country and the world.  I really miss it, as I am sure others do.

well sound like somebody is making profits from this , yahoo does not have any more directory/search but spokeo.com have it , why spokeo has this privilges to found yahoo id's and the own yahoo does not , good question?before i could search for a profile id now i can not  ,always is coming no found or no results ,but spokeo have it , and in this one you have to pay  , could be somebody in yahoo making big boxs with this , spokeo have what yahoo should be have a directory of members but like i said sound really bad that spokeo have it,is no fear to take from members and give it to a private web site that maybe has some ones inside yahoo in there , this is no the first time , i just like to know why?
