I am working on a website, and trying to define our URL structure for the best SEO.

Let's say we have a list of 100 products etc... We want our urls to look something like.

http://www.foo.bar/products/productName

Some of the product names have hyphens in them others don't

"Bowl-o-soup with Rice"
"Big Screen TV"
"Xbox 360"
"Hoola-Hoop"

Now I know that until last year Google didn't parse underscores for key words, but that has changed, but I have been unable to find out if Yahoo, MSN and ASK parse underscores for key words. Any help into this area would be great. Links specifically that I could show the partners on this project so that we can make our decision.

Thansk.
