What is your preferred search engine for inquiries? Yahoo or Google?
Google has been sweeping the market up the last few years. In fact, the term for searching, “googling” has now become a part of our lingo. “I need to google that” is often heard. So the brand has become the item now.
I continue to prefer Yahoo over Google for several reasons. So imagine my surprise when I found an article by Gina Trapani on Lifehacker.com on this topic. In “Break Google’s Monopoly on Your Data: Switch to Yahoo Search, the author points out the major feature that keeps me coming back to Yahoo. That feature is Search Assist.
Search Assist: Google’s got Google Suggest and Yahoo’s got “Search Assist”—that helpful drop-down of words you’re likely to be looking for based on what you’ve typed already. Google Suggest has one thing that Search Assist doesn’t—the number of results each suggestion will yield—but Search Assist offers an “Explore related concepts” area that shows other searches related to the one you’re doing.
I find this feature to be a tremendous time saver.
