But where I do use Yahoo is as part of competitor research when working for clients - you never know when Google has sandboxed something you should know about ;-) I use Google most of the time for searches, too.

I notice this happening a lot when I search for various Linux error messages. I ought to make it a point to at least give Yahoo a chance.

Starting this year, I have noticed that some results do not show any of the search terms I typed. Looking at the cached version also reveals no occurrence of these terms either. Backlinks show no link anchor text that could explain this phenomenon. It is definitely the exception rather than the rule, but if this happens enough Google could certainly lose market share over time. It seems obvious that if I'm searching Google for a particular query, then the pages that I am served really ought to contain SOME mention of what I am searching for! Also whatever is happening with high-volume one-word results is really screwy - I though it was a hand-ban situation but it seems that a lot of these results rotate through a few highly mediocre sites each week. Creepy. This seems like an interesting blog - subscribed! A lot of this may center around the seeming lack of relevance typical of some Google search results these days.
