Overall I prefer Google, but do sometimes use Yahoo.\nI suppose it is whatever one is used to using.

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

My vote goes to Google.\n\nMy answer is google for the following reasons:\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.\n\nhttp://www.grokker.com/grokker.html?query=Anirudh%20Koul&Yahoo=true&Daypop=true&numResults=250

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

You can not compare between Microsoft and yahoo, microsoft is a software company while Yahoo is a web company. If you ask whose web service i like best, I will say Yahoo. Yahoo offers vast range of services and you can't count them. While google is more populer in search and provides more feture in gmail, Yahoo has human touch on all it's work. And working in yahoo environment is easy. And promoting web2.0 making yahoo another great player on the web. Micrsoft is still immature when it comes about internet serice. As it tries hard we wish to get more and more good products. Half of all great softwares are made by microsoft.\nAnd "yahoo copies google in search" is a wrong idea. they have come up with some solid innovation. And bad attutude toward microsoft because it is so successful is wrong. Microsoft is so successful in software because it tries hard and make every thing user friendly and customizable. If microsoft can follow it it can do much good in web too.

No, Yahoo! uses their own search engine. The difference is that whereas Google will index pretty much anything it finds on the web, the Yahoo! search engine is more selective. It will only index websites that have unique content. (It also tends to rank pages on Yahoo! higher.)

I think Google already beats Yahoo - I prefer Google for searches and gmail and groups, Yahoo is more social- like this and games. Yahoo mail pales to gmail. Also Yahoo is more flashy with many more distracting ads - I do not like that!\n\nGoogle for business, Yahoo when I have time to waste

GMail definitely man, The GMail is more than web mail or something like that, AND BECAUSE IT'S A LITTLE PRIVATE it's more pro and of course more secure, but the most important thing is that it's NOT COMMERCIAL you can't find any single publicity in it, while in YAHOO you can't even move you cursor without being on a publicity label..

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 )

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 use yahoo search engine, almost ALL the time, reason #1) you have more features, which google doesn't. #2) yahoo mail is much better although it doesn't have as much space as g-mail BUT it doesn't keep all the records, unlike google, which keeps ALL the records, its possible you can google some of the message for you g-mail.,

I really don't see what is so great about Google. I get more or less the same results using Yahoo or MSN.

google has one too, and both are trying to attract users. Yahoo hopes that this will bring more users to yahoo. Google hopes the same.

I think that google is pretty good. Their search engine seems to be much better than the average search engine and G mail is becoming popular, but BEWARE of downloading their toolbar, I have done it a few times and had problems with the computer and my antivirus kicked right in and destroyed it. Other than that, they are pretty good. :0)

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