I used to be a big person on Yahoo back in the days when Category listings were a big thing in the search results but now I find Google the better of the two and never use MSN

That's a good point. Google is the real thing, the rest is just for show.

We have to be, at least, suspicious about the growing importance of Google in this matter. Few more years and Google will monopolize all the traffic. Ask yourselves if this is good or bad.

It is very clear to me that somehow, somewhere in the vast depth of Google's PhDs doing engineering on search algorithms, something significant has changed for the worst.

I started noticing it about 1 year ago and since that time the Google results have been getting oddly different. I can't quite pin it down - is it page rank? results? quality of links?

I'm glad to see that others have noticed as well. I have started mentioning this to my friends and clients and they are agreeing with me. I have changed all of my home page searches back to Yahoo and currently love the results.

I'm sad because I thought Google was the greatest for so many years.

Nothing significant have been changed for the worst. All search engines have improved their algos. Therefore the problem are not the search engines. It could only be that your site does not follow the SE improvements.
