Yahoo or Google??

I think Google has maximised its potential in terms of having been able to market themselves to such a point that it has become instinctive for a person to think of Google when it comes to searching. I am not sure how many of you say this when you don't know something - "Google it..." - to say that the person would need to go online and search for what that thing is. In terms of Google being more reliable than Yahoo...I don't necessarily think that one denotes the other...it's just that Google is more widely used.

It doesn't actually mean that Google is more reliable but everyone are used to Google to search anything.
Yes, I think Google is a lot more reliable. I don't think I've ever been satisfied with the search results at Yahoo and I'm just glad that Google became what it is today because I can still remember back then when we didn't have much any other options and it was so hard to do research. I think Yahoo still has a lot more going for it though, since they still have Yahoo! News and Yahoo! Answers which I love.

Google is more reliable, however I use all search engines when I test SEO. Google seems to have the best index and the fastest service out of them all, as it is a BIG company with probably the most powerful servers on the web hosting its services, I haven't heard of Yahoo. Bing isn't even a competitor and is beneath Yahoo I think, you can't compete with something this settled in and trusted.
Of course Google is a more reliable search engine than Yahoo. It's the most reliable search engine on the web. People's whole careers are based off of just trying to increase website rankings in Google and for good reason. Check analytics of your websites and I guarantee at least 70% (normally more in my experience) of organic traffic occurs via Google SERPs. Yahoo isn't bad it's just that they have so much other things and didn't start as a search engine primarily, it has a website with features that include a search engine, vs. Google being primarily a search engine with features built around it. Google owns Google (obviously), Youtube, and Blogger/blogspot which are all in the top 20 most popular / highest traffic websites out there. There's no questioning the relevancy of Google, and it remains the most intricate/reliable/powerful search engine on the web.

I prefer Google for my search. I usually find whatever I'm looking for when searching in Google. Technically, Yahoo is no longer a search engine. It's powered by Bing. It's kinda sad. I remember using Yahoo years ago. It wasn't that accurate so I switched to Google. And the rest as they say is history.

I hardly use Yahoo! In fact, I can't rightly remember the last time I used Yahoo! Day in and day out, I use Google to do my work. It has it's peculiarities but once you get used to it, you will know how to frame your query to get the information you want.
I think of Yahoo as the AOL of search engines. And I refuse the add the exclamation mark! There's so much bloat on their homepage that it just leaves a bad impression in my mind.
It would be interesting to see Google get some real competition, though. It would have to be at the idea level because Google can't be outspent. If a better idea for internet searching were introduced, it would reduce Google to merely copying.
