Yahoo is behind Google

[aarsish]

Yahoo! Search lags well behind Google in popularity, but reviews say both search engines provide relevant results most of the time. Because results overlap only partially, search experts recommend using both tools for Internet research. The new Yahoo! Search Pad makes it easy to take notes as you research without switching programs, and Yahoo! Search provides shortcuts for quick answers to many common queries (such as area codes, weather and traffic reports). Using advanced search, you can even narrow results to show only pages with a Creative Commons license (a form of copyright that allows for fair use of creative works). Unless you prefer the Yahoo! portal for other reasons such as e-mail or instant messaging, however, reviews recommend Google as the best search engine with which to start.
