The Yahoo Search Blog announced that if you conduct a search at Yahoo on valentine’s day or other related search terms, you will see a horizontal search bar with hearts for the special day.

This is great for advertisers to get more exposure of their ads during the season, but why don’t I see the hearts for searches like flowers.
