Yahoo copies what it doesn't like about Google
Few days ago, Yahoo's advertising team published #-Link-Snipped-# of presenting users with a simple search page that does not talk back to you. While I personally think that a plain search page with focus on just the main functionality is a great idea, I do think Yahoo has a point. Yahoo does save users some time in searching for the other information (news, stock, sports, mail) by offering it on the front page itself.I however stumbled upon https://search.yahoo.com and was surprised. Yahoo has its own search page that is surely inspired by Google. Look -#-Link-Snipped-#Except the positioning of the logo & colors, everything looks like Google. Even the positioning of the links above the search box is similar to what Google does: Web, Images, Video etc.Yahoo offers its own version of suggestions for keywords entered; but its still not as mature as Google's. For example, when I enter "CrazyEngineers" in both search engines, Google offers following suggestions -<ul>[*]CrazyEngineers.com[*]CrazyEngineerse forum[*]CrazyEngineers project</ul>...which are few of the search terms most of the people search on Google. Yahoo on the other hand refuses to offer any suggestion. Considering the fact that Yahoo's spiders heavily crawl CrazyEngineers' pages, the quality of the suggestions offered isn't up to the mark.What do you think about Yahoo search?
