do you ever use Yahoo! to search for anything?
 
if so what do you search on Yahoo! that you can't find on google?

Jace 05-19-2005 01:08 AM

Doctor Dre 05-19-2005 01:11 AM

I search on google, when results are no good, I use yahoo

SmutGiant 05-19-2005 01:41 AM

I just recently set my homepage to Yahoo. They've been sending me some nice traffic, so I figured they earned it for a while :upsidedow

ADL Colin 05-19-2005 02:07 AM

Babagirls 05-19-2005 02:08 AM

Kirsten 05-19-2005 03:10 AM

Vitasoy 05-19-2005 03:37 AM

Nah... I only use google now.

EviLGuY 05-19-2005 04:16 AM

I pretty much only use google here too.

Michael O 05-19-2005 04:19 AM

I only use google.

Tipsy 05-19-2005 04:21 AM

MSN, Google, Yahoo in that order although Google may end up in last place soon.

Google's over zealousness with spam means the results are often shit now. Whatever you believe about the 'sandbox' the fact is many, many new sites don't make good placings for a very long time and that fucks Google up. Quite often the stuff I want will be on a newer site. If it's an established site chances are I'll have a bookmark anyway or know the URL and just go straight there so wouldn't need Google in the first place.

gecko 05-19-2005 04:22 AM

I only use google too.

nico-t 05-19-2005 04:35 AM

Zester 05-19-2005 06:00 AM

my opinon=yahoo is shit when it comes to finding something

Sarah_Jayne 05-19-2005 06:08 AM

to be honest I can't remember the last time I used it to search. Groups and mail are about it..sometimes the Launch thing.

Violetta 05-19-2005 06:38 AM

I have an yahoo mail account, but thats it!

MandyBlake 05-19-2005 07:47 AM

the only time i really use it is when i'm checking where my site ranks.

Adult-biz 05-19-2005 08:31 AM

Yahoo is decent enough for searches also. I use Google + Yahoo most of the time for checking sites but never normally search using any of the other directories / engines.

It`s a wonder how most of the others survive.

Just pulled this off about.com which probably demonstrates how difficult it is to compete in this field (probably a little old because of the indexed numbers showing but the last sentence obviously highlights again the sheer dominance of Google):

"Google is by far the most used search engine. It provides search results not only on it's home page, but powers other search engines' results as well. Google claims to have indexed over 3 billion pages, but in reality, that number is probably too small. More than 300 million searches a day filter through Google's fingertips"

khs 05-19-2005 08:39 AM

google is a spamfest shit hole

swedguy 05-19-2005 08:44 AM

Only time I use Yahoo Search is when I look through the serps to see where I'm at :winkwink:

sickkittens 05-19-2005 08:58 AM

I use Google 99% of the time.

Gooooooooooogle !

spideriux 05-19-2005 09:50 AM

never, I'm using only Google & Alltheweb

mkx 05-19-2005 10:01 AM

I dont like google because they dont give my sites good rankings like yahoo and MSN (mmm msn rankings) do. I use them only when needed. I find yahoo much better for product searches.

cherrylula 05-19-2005 10:03 AM

hotbot biatches

loverboy 05-19-2005 10:04 AM

i don't, im paid to use Google

:smokin

STD 05-19-2005 10:08 AM

I like to search on Yahoo for Google!

Gator 05-19-2005 10:12 AM

I've always preferred Yahoo over Google. Google always seems to return spammy results no matter what you search for.

Lifer 05-19-2005 10:15 AM

Sure I do.

Especially when the GFY search engine goes down.
