Only by conducting the search and looking at the SERP I'm afraid. Yahoo used to show other advertiser's ads in your CP when you were creating a campaign but they have stopped this as well.

If you are concerned about doing searches and bumping up your own impression data, you can view a preview version of the SERP here https://adwords.google.com/select/Ad...ingPreviewTool

I have used a tool called adgooroo that provides the ability to see exactly which ads appear for one or more keywords in a keyword bank.

See below the copy from their site that explains what it does:

In early 2008, the AdGooroo research team set out to create an algorithm which could identify the top performing ads in any industry without relying upon panel data or statistical sampling. We discovered "tell-tale" signals buried deep within past impression data that were frequently given off by ads with high quality scores and clickthrough rates.

We wrote software to analyze these signatures. This became the basis of our "Top Ad Copy" report, a patented technology which is available only to AdGooroo SEM Insight customers.

This report analyzes the prior 30 days of ad impression data to produce a short list of ads which are likely to exhibit abnormally high clickthrough rates. These ads can then be split-tested and refined to improve quality scores, ad placement, and ad coverage both at the campaign and individual keyword level.

I hope this helps.

type in your keyword and it should say under the ads on the right side "see similar results" or something like that.

Keyword Spy is quite good for this type of ting too (similar to AdGooroo although I have never used AdGoorooo)
