So the reason for you not being able to find it is because there is no - at this moment. whether or not Yahoo! is too US centric is hard to say - and lately more and more innovation is driven from EU and UK in specific. A lot of Answers features as well as some web search innovations are built in the UK. Thats rather new and 2 years from now there was no big engineering team in EU as we have it today. hey doug,

Yahoo have always been far too US-centric. Unfortunately I’ve not found how to get Yahoo’s Local Search API to work in the UK and without that the Google Map with Local wins hands down for me.
