Yahoo Search showing "0" in place of file sizes

[Darrin Ward]

Has anybody noticed that the Yahoo SERPS are showing "0" as the file size for some pages, on all search queries, from what I can see...

Example..
kepler.ss.ca.gov/list.html - 0 - Cached - More from this site - Save - Block

I see many with 0 but some with more.

I wonder why many are 0???

Well, programmatically it makes sense that is for some reason that piece of information could not be pulled from their database, then 0 would take it's place.

If there were multiple 0's then perhaps it tried more than once to get the piece of information and appended each result to that result from the preceeding try - in which case you'd have a string of 0's.

Of course - we don't know!

But, one thing is for sure - this is an indication that something is wrong with Yahoo Search. As for whether or not it is evidence of further problems to come; we we'll just have to wait and see!
