well, actually I don't think yahoo can show more result than google, I use google quite well, and I think if only compare the search tool, google have better feature than yahoo.
and provide more result I like.

This is not the topic of this thread but I'll try to answer it.
Of course, it's MSN live.
However, if Microsoft buys Yahoo, we'll end up with a combined MSN Live/Yahoo search engine which will get a bigger search volume.

Ask.com would be in the fourth place.

I'm still holding out for Ask.com to get their act together and offer the Big 3 search giants a little competition.

Yeah, their search is messy, and It's just better clean and simple. It's a very inconvenient search which is why I avoid it at all costs.

An example:


I searched for hi

Then at the top it says:
Narrow: Hi Jeeves · Are You Gay · How Are You Doing

Hawaii - result one

Hawaii -result two

doe.k12.hi.us/

Totally irrelevant to my search

One of the things I like about Yahoo is its new feature in search results called Search Scan..when you enable it, i'll show warnings next to search results for sites that might have dangerous downloads, spyware, viruses, etc.
