Yahoo Image search is dominated by Flickr photos

Has anyone noticed that Yahoo image search is dominated by flickr photos? Searches that should return company logos a lot of times return skimpily clad women because that these are the photos that are tagged and commented on.

I was doing some research on a television (sony 52xbr5) and wanted to look at some images. A Yahoo images search for 52xbr5 that return only one result. The same search for Google returns 600 results.
