Google indexes billions of Web pages, so that users can search for the information they desire, through the use of keywords and operators. Google has also employed the Web Search technology into other search services, including Image Search, Google News, the price comparison site Google Product Search, the interactive Usenet archive Google Groups, Google Maps. Google, besides from their popular search engine, released various other services, such as email service popularly known as Gmail which was the result of 6 years of extensive research, the social networking site popularly known as Orkut; video sharing service such as Google video and later it also acquired You Tube for the same. From this video sharing a new form of entertainment has emerged, MACHINIMA. Google also have their advertisement program in Gmail, where in if the user is getting a mail from a particular company, he/she can see the related articles or news in the right hand side of the mail window.

critisisism of yahoo

Yahoo has received criticism for funding spy and advertisement technologies. In this case, advertising from Yahoo's clients appears on-screen in pop-ups and through these users may sometimes accidentally install ad ware or spyware on their computer. This feature has received stern criticism from the media, and internet users, due to media scrutiny relating to paedophiles utilising the internet as a means to collect child pornography, and a lack of significant ad revenues, and later it was closed down on June 2005.

First it was sarcastic, so.... yea.

Second, it's a question so I couldn't really specify, if an answer to exactly what I asked is exactly what I desire. Basically, my question is exactly as specific as I want it to be.

Google is better than yahoo, so what else is new?

Google hands down wins the best search engine compared to any other. It's very simple & easy to use, the appearance of the search results are organised very neatly & systematically. Unlike yahoo homepage which is very cluttered & clumsy & unappealing to the eyes

Side: Google

In my experience, Google is much better. Google has a powerful search engine that satisfies.
