pne, my last post above was actually interpreting what2003m2003 had said, although I do tend to agree with him.
Elsewhere, I have acknowledged that how "good" Google is relative to Yahoo, etc., may depend on what you are searching for. Almost all of my searches are for information and either Google Search or Google Groups definitely returns the best results for me. However, I rarely search for products or services on the net; some who do claim that Yahoo is superior for that type of search. Given that different search engines use slightly to somewhat different methods for indexing and determining relevance, it wouldn't surprise me at all if it turns out that how well they perform is partly dependent on what they are cataloging (spelling?) interacting with HOW they are doing that.
