Default Google or Yahoo?

Which do you use?
I optimize for google but oddly enough for a long time I mostly used yahoo for search.
Recently though I've been using google more and I have to say it's pretty damn good. It really seems to be getting the searches right these days.
One of the reasons I stopped using them a few years back is because the results were never accurate until you delved into page 2 or 3.

I've been doing all my searches with google for the past few days and I have my answer within the first 3 results if not the first.

One of the things that I'm finding annoying with yahoo these days is I go there with a search in mind and I get distracted by all the news and everything else they have on that front page so an hour later I do my search but hell it's an hour later.

With google there's nothing to distract, you do your search and spend your time looking at what you actually wanted to search for.

I agree with pretty much everything. I try to optimize for Google but conduct most of my day to day searches on Yahoo. I've always been like that.

I do like all the extra stuff that Yahoo offers and I participate in things like fantasy sports. I've had the same Yahoo email address for over 10 years now too.

I do like yahoo with all it's extras. I think what I'm going to do from now on though is search google when I need an answer right away with no fluff. And when I have more time to waste I'll hit yahoo. One of my fave things with yahoo is that search suggestion that pops up while you're typing.

Yahoo for real time financials/stocks/options.

Google for absolutely everything else.
