Yahoo! Search is located at http://search.yahoo.com , and it is one of those search engines that has slowly been improving its prowess over the years. Once, mostly dominated by self-promotion, it has evolved into a better engine, that also allows a ...
A long time ago, in a far away land, the only search engine that I ever used was Yahoo's. It was fairly straight forward and the results that were returned were applicable to what I was looking for.
Pros: it is a search engine Cons: broken links, not many sites for what you're looking for, impossible to submit your own site to
My husband is the computer and internet guy in our home. While I feel that in the internet world I have caught up to him (and I feel he'd agree with me), I'm still completely out of it where computers are concerned. :o)
Pros: Always online and working. Good email. Cons: Slow, inaccurate, and hard to get listed on.
Yahoo is one of the most popular search engines on the web today. My wife has her email on the site, along with her auctions and uses it for all her searching needs. She spends hour upon hour searching and not finding in large part due to this...
Yahoo is, I believe, the #1 site on the web, meaning that more people view it daily than any other site. It is first and foremost known as a search engine, but they also offer other features such as games, email, auctions, and much more. Yahoo also...
I will start this review by saying that I do usually prefer Google or AllTheWeb to Yahoo! Search but they have been good to me as well so I will be giving them a pretty good review. Yahoo! Search does have some good features that Google and AllTheWeb do...
Pros: Easy to use, and you can find almost anything. Cons: It is a rarity, but sometimes you won't find what you are looking for.
Over the past few years I have been to, and used, many different search engines. If you can think up one I have probably used it. One day I found one called Yahoo. I thought that the name for this website was crazy. How would a site called “Yahoo” ever...
Pros: Extensive Search Cons: May find more current info with other engines
I have to start this review with the disclaimer that I'm no computer genius. In fact, in some ways I'm still an internet infant learning more every day. I can click my way to just about anything I want/need, but most everything I've learned about the...
Pros: Lots of extras on the web site Cons: none so far
Searching for something specific on the web used to be hard.Trying to find something on George Washington on another search engine you'd find tons of blind links and stuff you weren't looking for.
Pros: The engine is free to use with no commitments. Cons: Somewhat time consuming to get exactly what you want .
Why I Like The Yahoo ! Search Engine
For starters it is completely free without having to become a member . Anyone can go to www.yahoo.com and use this engine free of hassle and obligation . It gives pretty good results with a fair...
My friend has Yahoo! set up as the automatic search engine on his computer. So, of course when I am trying to search for something it will pop up. Now in the past I have used various search engines varrying from Excite, to google, to Lycos. Yet, I have...
Pros: most directions were correct Cons: got lost due to one wrong direction
I recently had to take a trip to Harrisburg for a meeting, but did not know how to get there. A chat friend of mine recommended using Yahoo maps, to get directions.
When I went into maps to search, it wouldn't give me a map for the exact...
This review is directed more toward Yahoo as a whole than at Yahoo as a search engine. If all you use Yahoo for is searching, then you are really missing out on the many benefits of this awesome website. When you use Yahoo not only can you search for...
Pros: Advanced search Cons: general search if looking for specific topic
I have been using Yahoo Search since I have been using the Internet, which is around 6 - 8 years. It's the first one I used and I fell in love with it after using it for a few months.
Maybe it's because it's the first one I used, but I am...
Pros: Search results organized in a logical way; quick servers Cons: Some sites are absent because Yahoo! is highly selective on what sites get included
Yahoo! was, when it first came out, one of the greatest things to happen to the Internet in the history of that medium. Back in the "old days" of DOS-based browsers, finding what you were looking for on the Internet could be a bit difficult. Of...
Pros: Fast. You Find What You Are Looking For. Easy. Cons: Lots Of Dead Links. You Can Find Too Many Things.
I've been using Yahoo! as my home page ever since I have owned Internet. Yahoo! is simply my favorite web page ever and it has mostly everything I would want, including an awesome search engine.
Pros: Lots of features, good results sometimes Cons: hard not to find porn in the results
Let me start out by stating that I've been using the internet since before Yahoo! existed. Even so, it seems like Yahoo! has been around forever. Whenever there's something I want to find on the internet and I don't know where to start, Yahoo! is my...
Pros: Fast and easy results, puts universal sites together, low dead links, did you mean Cons: A lot of advertisments in searches, cluttered home page since Yahoo! is connected to so much ...
Pros: outline organization Cons: tries to read your mind
When I first started using the internet, I used Yahoo! Search to navigate around. It is incredibly user friendly. It is organized as an outline which allows a user to either put in specific words to search, or to try and find the word by going up and...
Pros: NONE Cons: can't find what you are looking for
Out of all the search engines out there, Yahoo has to be THE worst one there is. When I was new to the web some 4 or 5 years ago, it was all I used just because I didn't know better. Now, I don't even go there for a last resort!
Pros: Well-organized, quality results, decent websites Cons: Now that businesses pay to be listed, the quality has gone down
In the beginning, there was just Yahoo! This small two-college-boy idea exploded into the hottest and most successful search engine around. Years later, this is still a quality site, although it's been getting a little weak lately.
Pros: Categorized links are unbelievably helpful Cons: Everyone else is doing it, cluttered main page
Yahoo! The name makes you think of a hillbilly or a redneck named Uncle Cleatus shouting unintelligibly as he shoots at somethin' rustlin' 'round over in them thar bushes, but really, it's the most visited web page on the internet. It is surprising to me...
Pros: Good search engine, gives free email Cons: Sometimes will be unable to find a match to your search.
Yahoo is one of the most recognized names of the Internet. If you ask someone to name a Internet site Yahoo along with Amazon, Ebay will be among the most common answers
Now many people know that Yahoo is used for searches, but what else can...
Pros: Easy to navigate, pretty pictures Cons: Biased results
As search engines go, my opinion is that whether a search engine is good or bad depends on what kind of information you are looking for. Some engines are better at finding small information within large sites, whereas others are better at finding small,...
Pros: Makes a hit almost every time Cons: The hits are mostly unsorted and often repeat
Yahoo.com has come a long, long way since it first appearance on the web way back in the early 90’s. Yahoo has evolved and keeps evolving to such an extent that it is now my principle search engine. With Yahoo I can find anything my little heart...
Pros: good e-mail Cons: search is bad, the directories don't have much him them, no summaries of the sites, badily organise, the games could defiantley use some improvment.
I have one question and one question only about Yahoo. Why is it still in business. It's hard to navigate and the results are hard to navigate compare to go.com. Also they don't have many ways to narrow down your search if you get a million web page...
Pros: Fast, relevant sites listed first, advanced search and categories. Cons: Best for general, popular sites.
If you visit my home and use my computer, you will find that I have several search engines saved as favourites. Google and Yahoo! are the best of the bunch.
I first used Yahoo! because a friend told me that this was especially good for...
Pros: email, chats, news, yellow pages Cons: Have to be to specific to find things
Let me first say this. I am on the computer about 6 hours a day. I know what I am doing and have no problems getting around. When I first started browsing the internet the only place I went was to Yahoo.com. I mean come on, where else was there 8 years...
Were you aware of your surroundings? Did you know something extra that could save your life? What do you do while you are waiting for 911 to respond to your call? Or, how much thought goes into the next time you see litter in your yard? If you are...
Pros: Quality and quantity go hand in hand at Yahoo Cons: Paid search results now appearing.
Yahoo and I go far back. It seems like only yesterday that I was a mere lad visiting my oldest brother at college. He was the first to go and although I can’t say we were extremely close back in those days, he always took care of us whenever we...
Pros: Fast And Reliable Cons: Sometimes a lack of results
Many search engines have come and gone in the Internet. Yahoo! was one of the earlier ones and probably one of the more well known ones. It provides fast search results and even faster page loading. I did have problems with this service a few...
Pros: Easy to navigate and useful; a site that helps find answers to questions of life Cons: N/A
There is no doubt that Yahoo! is one of the top and premiere search engines out there. Never once has it let me down when I needed directions for my frequent travels. I will admit that this is one of the services that I use the most on the site. In my...
Pros: Lots of listings; Loads fast; Cons: Difficult to get listed; Found Thomas Jefferson's webpage too.
Yahoo!: The worlds biggest excuse to show me an advertisement. What has the world (wide web) come to? Remember when the internet was all about email, pictures of Darth Vader, and "questionable content"? I remember when the best webpages were the ones...
Pros: Easy to use, many features Cons: Yahoo's search needs to be more prominent
Repeat after me. Yahoo is not a search engine. And it's not a browser either. One of my most favorite newbie mistakes is when someone tells me that they use Yahoo as their browser. (Coincidentally, it was also what made me think that Netscape was...
