Yahoo search Vs Google search engine

[payabian]

The presentation of the results is very similar. Yahoo has wisely opted to keep things looking mostly the same, with a few exceptions. There's a linked to the cached copy of each indexed page -- now being served from Yahoo, not Google. Just about everything else on search result pages looks the same.
The actual results returned by Google and Yahoo depends on the query. For popular or common queries, there seemed to be very little difference between the two engines in top few results. But once you get past those, the results tend to diverge dramatically. And for less common or non-popular queries, Yahoo results look quite different from Google results.
While Yahoo and Google are likely using similar algorithms, one reason for the differences in what's displayed is that Yahoo's email and search teams are now working together to leverage what they've learned about spam. Since Yahoo mail processes billions of email messages, this knowledge is likely quite helpful in providing Yahoo with a much deeper understanding of the characteristics of spam -- and helping keep the nasty stuff out of the web page index. :thumbup: :yuk:

I like searching in google than yahoo. Google loads faster and its cleaner. I also like how google keeps their site simple and get the search bar in the middle of everything. I also the way the Google logo changes as the season/mood/event changes. That is just my experience as a regular search engine user.

You can have success focusing on yahoo too if you want, but you will have to get top1 to have the same success of someone on the first page on google

I Search with google it's faster and you gett better results on yahoo when i search for something i don't seem to get what i want when i use google it's like the first site is the one i want. even though google is alot plain i like the interface better to yahoo i think yahoo just looks really old.

Google for me, too. Until it appeared, Yahoo! was the only option, but I always found it too clutered with various ads and other junk. Even now it's quite the same. I understand that most of that are link to their own services, but Google has even more services, yet it doesn't put them on their homepage.

As for the search itself, I guess I'm used to Google. But it's obvious that Yahoo! has taken a lot of things from Google while trying to be good enough. Nevertheless, the quality of Google will never be overcomed!

I use google search almost every day. I like it more than yahoo and i use it more because it gives me better results (as Neo Gadget said) and not as heavy as yahoo is. I don't like yahoo because it's not clear as google is. For me and a lot of people, the best search engine is google.

Well, I have no idea why but I prefer Google. It just seems more accurate with searching to me. The pages are clean without those useless stuff (Yahoo! has some useless stuff). Also, it is a Singapore thing! And I'm from Singapore so I must support my own country! Just joking =D I just feel that Google is better than Yahoo! in many ways although I can't describe it.

I prefer Google because its basicaly simple, Yahoo cluters things on the page like weather updates etc... Google is just a simple type and search, also it is very small from what i have heard so it can return results in less then a secound.

Well first of all, Im a Google fan and despise yahoo. Sure yahoo is a very good search engine also and has loads more stuff than Google, but Yahoo is simply too cluttered and everything is everywhere. When you want to search for something you want it quick and fast which is what Google does best. On the main page of Yahoo, the search bar is surrounded my other images and links from all over the place, whereas Google on the other hand is very simple, fast and isnt cluttered which causes Yahoo to load very slowly.

i personally would use Google.

I prefer Google, simply home page, powerful search result, fast server ( almost 100% up time ! ). Also love the Google logo desigh team, logo will change when have any important day, like world cup
but i think no.2 choose will be Yahoo!, it have many function, like Game, Groups, Mail etc.
