Google search vs Yahoo search

[Le Libérer]

A friend of mine challenged me to search out the differences of how yahoo and google search engines cater to your search history. For example when you search Why is there in each search engine, the top search will give you finds catered to what it thinks you want to see.

His was
Yahoo: "Why is there fuzz on a tennis ball" and Google; "Why is there a drunk Chinese man doing push ups on my front lawn."

Mine was Google: Why is there Anti-Intellectualism? Yahoo. Why there is Something rather than Nothing?

So what are your search finds?

[Pirate Utopian]

Google: "Why is there a dead Pakistani on my couch?"
Yahoo: "Why is there a leap year?"

[Susurrus]

Google: "Why is there a dead Pakistani on my couch?"
Yahoo: "Why is there a leap year?"

I had the exact same results.

[Le Libérer]

Well? Why is there a leap year? It seems to be a good queston. :)

[Tommy4ever]

I got ''Why is there a dead Pakistani on my couch'' for both.

[praxis1966]

Great thread.

Google: Why is there riots in London? (odd, because generally I know how to make a subject and verb agree, lol)

Yahoo: Why is there no 13th floor?

[Magón]

Google: Why is there a bug in my Horchata. :confused:

Yahoo: Why is there Exhibitionism :confused:

I don't even understand.

Well? Why is there a leap year? It seems to be a good queston. :) As far as I understand it it's because the time it takes the earth to complete an orbit of the sun is 365.25 days (or thereabouts) rather than being the more convienient 365, so in order to maintain an accurate dating system we have to "add" the extra day every four years.

Google gave me dead pakistani and the leap year thing - ask jeeves had "why is there salt in the sea" and, as far as I'm aware, hasn't been used as a search engine since the late paleolithic.

Yahoo: Why is there a leap year?

Google: Why is there a dead Pakistani on my Couch?

And to add a bit of flavor...

Ask.com: Why is there rioting in London?

[Agent Ducky]

I got the same leap year and dead Pakistani stuff from both. and from bing,
"why is there fuzz on a tennis ball"

[Jazzratt]

For a change of pace I used "When will" and got the following:

Google: When will psn be back up?

Yahoo: When will I get my tax rebate check?

[Il Medico]

For a change of pace I used "When will" and got the following:

Google: When will psn be back up?

Yahoo: When will I get my tax rebate check?
Same.

[Le Libérer]

My "when will"
Google: When Will I Get My Period?
Yahoo: "When Will I Be Mayor?"

I will tolerate no smart ass remarks for either of these. :laugh::blushing::cool:

[¿Que?]

yahoo: when will i get my tax rebate check
google: when will psn be back online

I don't even play video games :/

[Kamos]

Google: That dead Pakistani thing.
Yahoo: Why is there so little faith in teachers?

[Tablo]

Google: why is there a dead pakistani on my couch
Yahoo: why is there a leap year

I don't understand how they got these result for me.

[khad]

for both: why there is no god

[ColonelCossack]

both had a dead pakistani on my couch. :sneaky:

[ColonelCossack]

when wills.

google: when will i die
yahoo: when will the world end

how optimistic :D

[Pirate Utopian]

The dead Pakistani is related to some show called Lost apparently.

[Agent Ducky]

Google suggests "Why can't I own a canadian" when I type in "why can't".... what the fuck, google?

edit: nevermind, it makes sense now...

[Johnny Kerosene]

Why is there:
Google: Why is there a Maximal Voltage (da fuck?)
Yahoo: Why is there a leap year
Bing: Tennis ball fuzz

When will:
Google: PSN be back online
Yahoo: tax rebate check thing
Bing: When will I die

[Magón]

Google: When will my life begin?

Yahoo: When will I get my tax rebate check.

Once again, I don't even understand.

[hatzel]

As I use Ecosia:

Why is there air?
When will I be loved (song)

...nice...the latter is potent enough :(

For those who don't care about the rainforests (:lol:):

Google: pakistani & psn

Yahoo: leap year & tax rebate

Boooooring, same as everybody else. Therefore Ecosia is better :)

[Agent Ducky]

Ecosia.... seems legit :D
