SEO - img ALT text on Bing and Yahoo! search

In my post about Search engines for beginners - Submitting your site to major search engines, I indicated my success in registering ownership of this MicroEnterprise Blog with Google Webmaster Tools and Bing Toolbox, but not with Yahoo! Site Explorer.

Perhaps for that reason these MicroEnterprise blog poss are indexed on Google Search and Bing Search, but not on Yahoo! Search.

Because my post SEO - Google page rank - Understanding Google Page Rank has been indexed by both Google and Bing, it has been possible to determine that the <img alt="TEXT"> part of the images in that post were indexed by Google, but not indexed by Bing.  So far with Yahoo! Search the answer remains unknown.  In this, Yahoo! and Bing return different results.  Yahoo! does not return anything at all.
