Filter Yahoo Search results

Did you know you can refine a search by telling Yahoo to look for certain types of content? You can even filter your results with fine-tuned criteria. We'll get into that, below. But first, here's how to choose to search a specific type of content.

Choose a content type

  1. Go to Yahoo Search.
  2. Enter a search term and click Search.
  3. At the top of the page, click the content type you'd like (like "Web" or "Images"). If you don't see the content type you want, click More to see all available types.

Success! Your search now shows results for the type you chose. You can apply filters to refine your search further.
