Yahoo! is Bigger Than Google
Sarah Perez on December 13th, 2005
Yahoo! announced that its search index now consists of 20.8 billion web pages and images, making it nearly double that of Google. Shocking! Still, we all know that it’s not the size of the index alone that makes a search engine strong, it’s the accuracy of the results. And in this department, Google still delivers the best, most accurate results. However, losing bragging rights to the largest index does take Google down a notch, doesn’t it?

how is that new
I think it would have to take them down a notch.
I mean if you have the most accurate search, that doesn’t matter if you haven’t indexed the page the person is looking for.
I think it is good that Yahoo is getting a leg up. I don’t want one dominant search engine, I like compition. Good for the industry.
Hmmm….
Could it be a typo? Because I saw the headline here: http://news.com.com/News.com+E.....=ne.tab.hd
on CNET’s “extra” news page. That page is usually up-to-date with the latest, most current stories.
I will edit my post to remove where it says “yesterday” though…
nope…did some more checking…the story is old….
sorry!
Google may have the most accurate search results for text searches; but Yahoo always returns more results for the “image search” for some reason.
