A search engine is normally an automated computer that "crawls" the web looking for pages. All the pages it finds are put into an index with key information taken from the title of the page, keywords, meta tags, and the copy on the page. People can then use keywords to search the index for any matches.\n\nA Directory is normally a hand built, human edited system, where people review each site individually before adding it into the correct category (or subject area). Users can either browse the directory by clicking through different categories or can search the directory for specific keywords.\n\nThe advantages of a search engine are that they are often more up to date with breaking news and new sites and have a much wider range of sites in their index.\n\nThe advantage of a Directory is that each site is normally good quality as it has been checked by a human and is less prone to being "spammed" by unscrupulous site owners trying to artificially inflate their ranking.\n\nSearch Engines:\nhttp://uk.search.yahoo.com/\n\nDirectory:\nhttp://uk.dir.yahoo.com/\nhttp://www.dmoz.com/

Found your question after querying for Yahoo on Yahoo News from my Yahoo email beta. Yahoo news lead me to your interview with Yahoo VP on Answers.  \n\nYahoo search results are equivalent or better than Google's, and then Yahoo has so much more to offer.  So with the ad platform fix starting this fall, what is not to like?  Google has great brand recognition, but it is very early still on the web.  Of course, Yahoo is undervalued, although I usually look to folks like you to help me decide.

Yahoo and Google are competitors. What do you expect?

Yahoo answer is more personalized and directed towards the asker. Google is a collection of related topic which may or may not match the exact question an asker may have. Besides, its a good way to get different perspective of a question from real people versus sifting through millions or search results.. isnt it?

google for searching, yahoo for general stuff

Okay, here I go:\n1) Studies show that the general public cannot discern the quality of the two search engines.  However, Yahoo! is still seen (Ad Age) as offering a wider variety of practical services and this would be the main 'thing' that Yahoo! is doing over Google.  Also, Yahoo! offers a direct link to a human-sorted directory, which many novice web users may find attractive.\n2. Google's mapping technology was for time regarded as superior.  It allowed for multi-point trips (for example, you could get the directions from your house, to the museum, then the symphony hall, then back all at once, not one leg at a time).  It also allowed users to plot things like service stations on a graphically superior topographic or satellite map.  However, Yahoo! Maps Beta now offers many of these features and may have been introduced in sufficient time to win back past users who may have been starting to switch to Google.  MapQuest also offers strong competition because of its percieved easy of use and easily accessible practical features.\n3. Many consumers have yet to discover a need for desktop search clients, as the average harddrive is relatively small (compared to, say for example, the Internet) and most consumers (Ad Age) would agree with the statement that they keep their primary files relatively maintained.  However, I would venture to say that Google Desktop has a slight advantage insofar that it is free and usually comes bundled with antivirus software, mapping programs and other freebies consumers want.  However, Windows Vista has a feature called Virtual Directories which are essentially constantly running searches.  I.E You would setup a Virtual Directory called 'Latin Spice!' and it would automatically display every Latin dance MP3 on your computer in the 'directory', regardless of where the files are actually located.  This may make desktop searching software essentially outdated, but it remains to be seen.\n4. Another issue is Google's notorious secrecy.  Although it was bemussing back when they were a 'garage corporation', now that their 'playing' with billions of investors dollars and not the family toolshed, investors want to know whats going on.  Of course there's going to need to be some secrecy lest they leak out ideas to competitors, but overall Google has been slammed for a lack of a definate business plan, and overall direction for the firm.  Case in point, it was speculated that Google would reveal as Google-PC running Google software at C3 this year.  Such wild speculations and twists leads to investor unease.  Also, they are entering into the video market.  I'm not quite sure what the motivation for this was, as they are (at the moment) clearly no match for iTunes powerful video database.  Also, Google fails to advertise these features to the public relying instead (and I believe too heavily at times) on gossip and internet chatter.  Such channels are insufficient for the casual internet user to take advantage of.  Case in point again, many users would be surprised to find out you can ask Google simple questions even over SMS on your cellphone without an Internet browser.  However, Google's AdSense program, though relatively new, gives Yahoo! Search Marketing (formerly Overture) quite a run for its money.  Yahoo! Search Marketing is seen as less attractive to the 'common man' wanting to go into online advertisement because (although they are optional costs) it makes it appear as though large setup fees and ongoing charges are required.  Google's AdSense seems to almost be tailored to small business and large alike, with only a $5 setup fee, more flexible use of what they call 'campains' and an arguably larger viewer base.  Also, Google makes it easier to exapand the AdSense viewing public by allowing even runners of small or personal sites to display the ads, whereas Yahoo! Search Marketing has a more rigourous site requirement

Yahoo! works better than any other service of it type for me when doing general work/searches. While I use other services including Goggle and MSN, I have the least problems with Yahoo! (and Goggle which runs on top of Yahoo!)...\n\n\nBTW consider yourself luck, when I started teaching the Internet at an adult ed level in '93 there wasn't any search engine that worked  with any reliability... and anything like Y!Answers was only done via text on the Usenet... no voting... no way of searching for answers without reading thru sometimes hundreds of posts... oh and did I mention that being in an academic setting we we had a single ISDN line feeding 30 student and 10 facilty computers but the ISP didn't have enough bandwidth to keep up with us so we frequently crashed the ISP's equipment when we weren't overheating our digital modem... Those were the days :-(

The only real difference between Yahoo.com and Yahoo.co.in is they are "country" versions. Yahoo.co.in is the India version of Yahoo.com and was created so people in India can find out their news, updates, entertainment as well as searches for Indian-related sites and issues.\n\nYour Yahoo ID works on all Yahoo!-owned sites, so no matter what Yahoo! site you use, you only need one to access your Yahoo! account!

★★ HELP WITH SEARCHING ★★\n\n◙ I used to have so much trouble finding what I wanted. That's because I didn't know the best methods for filtering my searches. Now I rarely have trouble finding what I want. Thanks to a great web site called GoogleGuide. Click on the "Novices Click Here" button to read about Google's fantastic search syntax. Yahoo has some of these operators too. But not even close to the amount that Google has. Below are a few examples.\n\nsite:briefcase.yahoo.com (mp3)\nintitle:?parent directory?

There are many really good ones and they don't all have the same things in them. One might have links to HTML sites etc. and another might not. There are currently 800,000 search engines. Most of them are specailty search engines. Here are several hundred generalized search engines. Plus a few specialized search engines I threw in for my own use.\n\n☞ http://dwight.clickthesky.com/search/\n\n◙ Google is the very best full-text search engine. But when you want a much deeper search you should use the number one cluster search engine.\n\n☞ http://www.vivisimo.com/\n\nIf you are in a really big hurry you can search many search engines at once by using meta search engines.

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

A search engine is a site where you type in whatever you want to look for, and it will come up with sites that fit with your search description (search results). 2 well known ones are Google (www.google.com) and Yahoo (www.yahoo.com). To implement a search engine into your site, you will need to look for it on the Search Engine's homepage for the HTML code.
