I prefer Google. It's faster, returns more relevant hits, and provides more options.

Let's do a Pro and Con comparison with respect to Google:\n\nPros of Google:\n\nAs a seach engine, google has the best relevance and presents the results in a way that I find easy to decide what pages are best for me. Its the best in terms of researching information.\n\nFor makin money, a #1 on google is worth many times more than a #1 on yahoo. Yahoo! blocks the top of the SERPs with sponsored ads.\n\nGoogle also has a neat interface. Yahoo is not bad too, but its interface is not that neat. The reason for that being it to be a portal. I think a nice interface is very important since people will come back more often if so.\n\nThe relevance of search results make its 'Feeling Lucky' feature pretty useful. Firefox address bar by defaults goes to 1 site listed on your search results.\n\nGoogle has tried to stay away from Spam/ misleading sites better than other search engines.\n\nCons of Google:\n\nHowever, few problems with google, its web crawler dosen't capture hyperlinks from PDF files stored on net, a feature which Yahoo provides.\n\nAlso, Google at present does not provide an index for video aggregation through the web crawler, a feature which Altavista provided since 1999. The problems include accuracy of the media file. That is the reason for providing Google Videos where users have to submit videos.\n\nDue to a larger share of 'searching' community, Google has been targeted by bloggers by planting Google Bombs. Because most bloggers mention the word failure with President Bush's name, the #1 site on searching Failure is the website of President Bush.\n\nYahoo is doing pretty good research in Search Technologies, for example Grokker.\nhttp://www.grokker.com/grokker.html?query=Anirudh%20Koul&Yahoo=true&Daypop=true&numResults=250

#1 Google http://www.google.com - Fast, usually gives the most accurate results to what I'm searching for.\n\n#2 Yahoo http://search.yahoo.com - Also fast, second best in results.  Sometimes gives me better answers.\n\nHint, if you go to that link for Yahoo Search, you don't have all the other garbage on screen.\n\nActually both engines have almost identical advanced search options, and are both very powerful.  It's more an issue of how you format you inquiries as to how accurate the search results are.

Yahoo ... Half of the time when I log in though, I go directly to Google to look something up.\n\nI do like the Yahoo thing 'cause it makes it easier for me to check the news, the weather, my 360, etc.\n\nYou asked ... although I have no clue as to why you would care !   LOL ;-)\n\n-- Alan

Dear.\nIt realy both search engine is better and nice.\nBut everythink has it own qulities. \n1. Google has it own quilties which:\ngoogle can translate the any other language to english. \nIt will give you result in seconds. Another way it tools. you can blocks pop-ups windows.\n---\n2. Yahoo is also good. but yahoo can not translate the non english languages to english. Infact yahoo is a good search engine in searching people and mailing.\n--------\nThere are others search engine which can help you.\nmsn.com very it will be search very deeply.\n-----\nmamma.com  this is the mother of search engine. It will search you give topic from other search engines.\n\nIt also depond on your topic. whenever you need a software you type just the name of software. eg\nfor example you need yahoo messenger  then you will not use any search engine. you will  go directly to yahoo.com\nbut if you will use any search engine it will give you the first site yahoo.com download available.\n\nFor software and programs only use its own official site.\nThanks ( Muhammad Waqas )

Google works best for me. It ranks sites usually about the way I would want to see them and includes relevant text from the page I am searching. I have my own website and their sitemaps program and tracking tools are very useful, plus it's good to see my site in the top ten. Yahoo! stopped listing my website, and I'm not quite sure why.

Yahoo. Simply because I search for things over and over and have come to expect the order that Yahoo puts things in as opposed to Google. I also like the set-up better, but probably once again just because I use it more.

Hey MISSY!!!!!!!!!!\n\nI can see you are quite ILLETERATE.........\n\nYahoo! and Google are two different things!!!!\n\nWhat I am trying to say is that it might look as if they are same (as they do the same function i.e. search the WWW) but the differences are as follows\n\n1) Yahoo and Google have different Organizing Bodies!\n\n2) Yahoo's Database differs from Googles database.......\n\n3) Yahoo Provides different other services else than search and so does Google

It depends. Yahoo and google return very very similar results. MSN has a couple of more mismatches. But then again it depends on what you are searching for..

I prefer GMail - it's faster and slicker and simpler - but it's slightly less reliable... I prefer Google's search tools, bookmarking, and history-based search... \n\nI really like Yahoo! Answers and I still use the Yahoo Mail, but their new beta mail is going in the wrong direction.\n\nI would say Google overall. Their new Calendar (to supplement the GMail) tips the balance; it's great.
