There is a programming technique which used to match strings of text. This is used here and the keywords you are searching for shows the most appropriate result in real time.
Hope this helps.

Yahoo searches for similar strings (group of charecters) in its database with that of what you have entered. for example if you type "india" it searches the database and returns all those questions in which the word "india" is a key word. Yahoo might also be using some other techinque to define what a keyword in a question is.

Its like wondering How does a fish swim!!!!!!!
Actually its a matter if keywords.... It searches for the words in your question.........and lists the ones with similar words....

it runs a 'query' against the Questions Database extracting all the questions which have the words that appear in your question.
It just guesses that those questions may be related

I assume it takes certain keywords from your question and searches through other questions to match them

yahoo just compares your words and word combinations...
That's a great tool,we can avoid questioning...
