I was all set to scribble an article forecasting the way forward for search engines, when Yahoo dropped Google and replaced it with its own engine. In less than 24 hours, Google went from about 79% of the share of the market to about 51%, just about overnite. What's the new Yahoo? Last year, Yahoo acquired the AltaVista, Fast, and Inktomi search engines. Many folks are asserting the results come from a new Inktomi as the results are similar ; but the results are also like all of the other search engines out there. Bangkok.
Which search engine is better? I'm going to be comparing Google and Yahoo for the terms "music", "art prints and posters", "Bahamas real estate", "mosquito nets", and "liposuction". Here is what I found in the leading ten results for each keyphrase : Music Yahoo offers lots of music resource sites. Info about music from different sources like mag, Television and other music reports sites are found six times in the leading 10 results.
