Yahoo! takes notes on your searches

This works really well

Certainly something I'd use if Google had one... Until then it's back to the post-its ...

Delicious.com 

Have these people at Google not considered promoting/investing in their own excellent, already existing, property - namely Delicious.com.

I want my search to be a slick and minimal affair, not clogged up with snippets and widgets and clipmarks and soforth that has accumulated along the way. A great many of my searches are one time only and completely irrelevant to any future activites.

I use Delicious for my 'I'll probably want to come back to that sometime' notetaking.

Yahoo: please don't let Delicious wither and die. Alongside Flickr, it's one of your greatest assets.

question one 

Stop

does it use a UID?

of course it does, so then Yahoo is profiling its users....?

so that would position them as a data controller no? it would be interesting to see just how aware they are making all this, it'd be a shame to see Yahoo go the way of the phErtrgurl!

This is a nice little feature - really handy, really simple, and less hassle than using third-party plugins and other stuff.
