Why does Yahoo! Search bold words I did not type?

Getting really annoying now: here's a picture showing what I mean:

Normally bolded text is the words you typed in the search bar, but as you can see, the words include completely unrelated things like "myspace", "mobile" and "highlight" how the hell do I stop Yahoo! Search from doing this?

    Hi there,

    Yahoo Search is intuitive and related words from your search will automatically be bold. There is no setting to remove that feature.

    You can include or exlude specific words from your results as well. Take a look at this link which should help you with this issue:

    Hope this helps. Cheers
