Of the three significant
search engines today, Yahoo has been around the longest. Unfortunately in this case oldest is not the best.
More importantly though, Yahoo's search engine is targeted to be replaced by Bing, a result of Microsoft and Yahoo attempting to take
their two products to combine them to take on Google. Previously I rated Yahoo the weakest of the 3 Stooges... "Curly" to Google's
"Moe" and MSN's "Larry", but we won't have Yahoo to kick along much longer.
One of the frustrating things about Yahoo is they keep URLs in their index that were 301 redirected literally seven years ago -- even
though Yahoo knows about the new URLs and knows the old URLs are redirected. "Moved permanently" means moved permanently, not
"wait seven years to see if they are really serious about moving." |
