Since the beginning of Google I have been an avid user of their search over all other search engines. From time to time I test out sample searches in different search engines and compare results. The results typically come back that Google is far superior at giving more accurate results in a better order of what I actually was looking for.
Recently I tried to search "Gabriel Lawrence" in Google, and could not find my website in the first five pages (does anyone ever go past that?). Out of curiosity I did the same search in Yahoo!, and I got the fourth spot. Now I may personally enjoy the Yahoo! result more, but even given my personal bias, I still have to say Google did I better job. The likelihood that someone is actually searching for my...less than perfect website is low on the grand scheme of things. Nevertheless, maybe I should give Yahoo! another try.
