Comparison of Yahoo and Google search results

[shergill]

One way to compare results is to simply open each site in a separate browser window and manually scan for differences.
But the second way is made by Norwegian developer named Asgeir S. Nilsen has made the task easier at a site called Twingine.

TwinGin Twingine site contains a blank search form where you can type any search query. When you click Search, the site brings up the results pages for that query from both Yahoo and Google, side by side.It divide the page into 2 column,one side to show yahoo search and another too show google search.

For example ,write bigblueball in search engine,this will show the result of both google and yahoo search engine.
Result of both search engine for text bigblueball is:-

yahoo:-
pagefound-380,000 within 0.13 sec.

Google:-
pagefound:-135,000 within 0.15 sec.

Check yourself which search engine result is relevent for you.

They had something like this before at a site call YahGoogle.com < something along those lines but that site disappeared.

Nice site! It's actually interesting to see the results compared side-by-side. One thing I noticed right away is that Google does a better job of letting the text flow on the narrow, split-screen view. I also really like the special treatment for the top result.

But jeff,the yahoo provides more result in less time,from that point of view,is not yahoo search engine database larger than google?also yahoo provides more reliable result.

The results are pretty similar. What I was referring to about the #1 result for BigBlueBall was this result in Google, which is unique:

BigBlueBall.com
Instant messaging tutorials, reference, news and forums for AIM, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, Trillian and other instant messengers.

The format of this particular result is unique from the other results, and shows some of the structure of the site.

But sometimes the yahoo search engine provides more accuracy like....search for ....everything about instant messaging .........yahoo provide more relevant result.It shows more result for bigblueball....2 times the site on 1st page.
