and you will see

Maybe on that link, but searching from yahoo.com on my iPod brings up a lot of google links.

[smeezekitty]

but notice  the bar on top that says
something like (dont know exact wording)
you could go to google or you can get what you want right here

[Helpmeh]

Maybe on that link, but searching from yahoo.com on my iPod brings up a lot of google links.

Nope. Only on your link.

[smeezekitty]

go to http://search.yahoo.com and just type in google and see where it goes

and this is surprising because?


this may come as a surprise but they are rival search engines. you really think they WANT you to use their competition.

What your implying is that, say, wal-mart should have signs out front, "if you cannot find what you need here, try some other excellent stores, such as walgreens or Home Depot" And grocery stores should have their competitors flyers put out,

"CHECK OUT THE GREAT DEALS FROM OTHER STORES!"

I went to yahoo.com, typed in google and saw where it goes. All relevant links, no mudslinging. Like I said for the first 2 times: YOUR LINK SHOWS THAT, NOT WHEN I SEARCH!

[BC_Programmer]

I went to yahoo.com

go to SEARCH.yahoo.com, not yahoo.com, and type google.

[smeezekitty]

google does the right thing
if you type in yahoo search in google you dont get any crap

[BC_Programmer]

the first hit on yahoo for google is google.

[smeezekitty]

no its not -- look here : http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rlz=1G1ACAW_ENUS328&q=Yahoo+search&aq=f&oq=&aqi=g10

[BC_Programmer]

I was just looking at the bloody result page.

And I'm not sure how showing the google search results for yahoo search prove that the first hit for google on yahoo search weren't google, but I'll play along.


Actually, no, I won't.

[smeezekitty]

oops i misunderstood
i thought you meant
if you search on google for yahoo the first result is google
but overall yahoo is doing  the wrong thing
andd i was showing google does the right thing

[BC_Programmer]

it's doing the wrong thing by having a single line of text when you search for google on yahoo?

How is this the wrong thing?

if this dissuades anybody from using google I would be surprised.

[Helpmeh]

Why would someone go to SEARCH.yahoo.com when they can search from yahoo.com?

Would you go to SEARCH.google.com if you could go to google.com and search from there?
