We present the results of searches for B decays to charmless final states involving {phi}, f{sub 0}(980), and charged or neutral {rho} mesons. The data sample corresponds to 384x10{sup 6} BB pairs collected with the BABAR detector operating at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e{sup +}e{sup -} collider at SLAC. We find no significant signals and determine the following 90% confidence level upper limits on the branching fractions, including systematic uncertainties: B(B{sup 0}{yields}{phi}{phi})<2.0x10{sup -7}, B(B{sup +}{yields}{phi}{rho}{sup +})<30x10{sup -7}, B(B{sup 0}{yields}{phi}{rho}{sup 0})<3.3x10{sup -7}, B[B{sup 0}{yields}{phi}f{sub 0}(980)]xB[f{sub 0}(980){yields}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}]<3.8x10{sup -7}, and B[B{sup 0}{yields}f{sub 0}(980)f{sub 0}(980)]xB[f{sub 0}(980){yields}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}]xB[f{sub 0}(980){yields}K{sup +}K{sup -}]<2.3x10{sup -7}.
