Yahoo has been delivering better organic results lately. I’ve almost abandoned Google.

Google “WAS” my favorite search engine, but as of late, their search results have turned up more and more irrelevant links. I don’t know, but I hate getting results without “bolded” words being shown. If I couldn’t google what I wanted, I usually yahoo it, or vice versa.

Anybody having any problems with the new Yahoo home page? When I do a search on new page, it directs from Yahoo.com to search.yahoo.com. Thus, I have to enter search parameters twice. Now, when I do a search, gives the wrong results asking me to enter a city or a name in the search box. Anybody having similar problems?

Can someone at Yahoo please suggest/implement a feature where Yahoo info is hyperlinked into a Y! search query?

For example:
finance.yahoo.com
(drilling down to a specific company’s income statement). Link the words “Cost of Goods Sold” either to Y! finance’s glossary for a definition (giving a chance to serve more ads and keep user longer), or place the aformentioned words in Y! search query for the user to gain depth of knowledge about the specific concepts found throughout Y! Finance. The “Key Statistics” section would be another area there the content there could lead to searches.

Thanks!

“You can Yahoo! to your heart’s content, any way you want to. Heck, you can even build your own Yahoo! Search engine.” Sounds marvellous :-) I’m a programmer, I like to Yahoo by making code to recombobulate my search results in ways that make them more useful. Or funnier. More with more cows. Sometimes I share these with people on my website. Does this new (excellent) free and participatory stance mean Yahoo! layers will stop sending me nasty nasygrams?

Hi, everyone. Google seems to point at a public who at least know what they (we) are looking for.
But take a look a Yahoo!’s homepage: silly news about Paris Hilton, the new video game or emoticons. To me, either Yahoo! thinks that’s all that matters to most people on the Internet, or they try to catch people who don’t have a clue of the amazing things they could be learning and doing online, and instead settle with Paris’ new album.
I guess Yahoo! just won’t reach enough people as to become a new verb ;)

Annoying Stuff,

I in no way meant (nor did I ever state)that Yahoo should encourage infringement or simply look the other way. Yahoo does clearly care about intellectual property rights(I’ll be sure to clarify that since it was unclear), and the point was that they shouldn’t aspire to be the next “googling.”

Howdy, fg! It showed up in my RSS yahoo on a Friday yahoo, so I stopped by. The notion that this issue is in any way new is pretty yahoo, so I wanted to correct that misconception. :)

I agree that using “Yahoo” as a verb doesn’t sound right at all. Sorry, but I just don’t think I’ll ever get used to doing that!

Philipp, I think that was me.
