yahoo = inktomi

Yahoo bought Inktomi recently but they're still using Google to power the search results. I forget how long the Google contract lasts.

Since when has Google EVER had popup ads?

Sounds like you've got spy-ware on your system.

 

If you don't know you suck at the IntarWeb.

It finds exactly what I want and doesn't have ads everywhere.

I like the Google cache, too. So, if a site is no longer in existence, the search still brings up the old page!

And Google is so much easier to type!

 

[Ferocious]

I went from Hotbot to Google a couple of years ago.

Talk about a difference.

Google also has an easy to type name, in addition to its 56k friendliness and clean, quick interface and unmatched searching giving almost always good results.

My main gripe is the way if often doesn;t bother with "of" because it's a common term.

I don't care if it is, I want it included automatically, b!tch

Don't forget cached pages and easy image search....I used cached pages all the time. "Page not found" my a$$
