Yahoo is better than google. Yahoo has Finance,Shopping etc. that people could like yahoo.  Google is fit for searching flats,hotels,job and many other job features.\nYahoo also has games,music,video etc. Which will entertain the people.

Although Yahoo! Mail is the best, in my opinion, thier search engine isn't. I much more like Google.com, mainly because they have more sites subbmitted, and I have Google Mobile search engine on my phone ;) .

Uptill now, Yahoo was best but recent introduction of Google Earth and Google Talk by Google has brought the Google ahead in the race. Although, this one, I mean, Yahoo! Answers may be a something new on Yahoo part but it is not expected to reveal such results as Google Earth has resulted in. Morover, with the introduction of more an more features in Yahoo Messenger, it has become less and less reliable so that it sometimes shows you online even if you are not really. So, as of now, I rate Google as better than Yahoo.

It's not.\nIf you're doing research, google is better.\n\nIf you want to play dolls, and act stupid on Yahoo Anwers...then Yahoo is definitely where you want to be.

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

I prefer google to search, but I like to use yahoo for e-mail and answers. Google's layout of search results is cleaner than yahoo's, which makes it nicer. But yahoo has batter e-mail and it has yahoo answers.\nI don't know which is better, they both have different qualities

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 ... 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

They are both search engine/internet based companies. Yahoo offers more "extra" services than google such as web design, online gaming, matchmaking, etc. Where-is Google hasn't really explored this market yet.

I use Yahoo a lot but prefer google.  I find they have better results and you can't beat google maps, especially the satalite images.

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..

Simply because in terms of innovation, Yahoo wins.\nHave you try Yahoo! Mindset at next.yahoo.com? This is a smart tool that is able to make out commercial links from educational resources for the same query.\nhave you try My Web search engine as it is mentionned here? it let's you create, share and tag your own mini web world.he performance of the two search engines will never be obvious anymore; should you use one or the other you WILL inevitably find your result on the two engines.\nYahoo, however makes search much smarter and innovates a lot. It might as well be some small relase like Y!Q but extremely useful; I t can also be tremendously useful features like the mix of Yahoo! News with the blog search

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

I mostly use Yahoo! simply because it is my homepage and was the engine I started out using. I also use Google, but not quite as much. I use AskJeeves, Dogpile, etc. when I can't find what I am looking for at the others.

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
