Description:
------------
The link to cached versions of search results does not display cached pages, it takes you to the main Yahoo! search page (http://search.yahoo.com/).

Reproduce code:
---------------
1. Go to http://uk.php.net/results.php?q=test&p=manual&l=en
2. Click "Cached" next to any of the search results

Example link is:

http://uk.wrs.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0WTeczpsQ9LDCQB0ZfdmMwF;_ylu=X3oDMTBwZTdwbWtkBGNvbG8DZQRwb3MDMQRzZWMDc3IEdnRpZAM-/SIG=18tr3qgcr/EXP=1259406185/**http%3A//74.6.239.67/search/cache%3Fei=UTF-8%26appid=www.php.net%26query=test%26start=1%26results=10%26site=www.php.net%26language=en%26output=php%26similar_ok=1%26u=www.php.net/cal.php%253Fid%253D3778%2526cm%253D12%2526cy%253D2009%26d=VRlLkd29T1ZO%26icp=1%26.intl=us

Expected result:
----------------
Cached version of the page.

Actual result:
--------------
Contents of http://search.yahoo.com/

It appears that this might be a problem on the Yahoo! side of things, actually, as the links in the query string on each of my tests is correct, and it appears that the US version works as expected.

I noticed this yesterday too with Y! search.
Its not specific to php.net, most 'cache' links are broken for many search terms.

Nothing we can do about it.
