FYI: If you enjoy bird-watching, you know that your searches can take you pretty far afield. One moment you think you hear the Slab-Sided Bandersnatch in the backyard, and before you know it, you're standing in a field 5 miles away with an enraged bull charging at you.
Searching for yield can do the same thing. You start looking at money funds, you move to bond funds and pretty soon you're staring at an exchange-traded stock fund specializing in East Asia. And you can get very good yields from exchange-traded stock funds. You also get a heaping helping of risk.
