Google vs Msn vs Yahoo ….. Search Engines

I won’t go into the fancy stuffs like number of pages searched or for that matter time taken for the given search. After all what will micro-seconds loss do to me!!

I will start with a general observation of mine which I felt right after I started blogging on wordpress site. Just for the sake of fun I searched my link at Google (after couple of hours). Lo and behold, the link was there in the search. Just two hours and no publicity but it was still there. So its indexing of new site generation was quite fast.

Later I started the search with Msn search but it didn’t show up. But after a day the results were there. One thing that struck me was that the results were more comprehensive than Google. So Mr. Gates pumping of money is doing some wonders.

Last coming up to another giant, Yahoo. It didn’t showed the results that day. Not even after that day. The story that the search result isn’t there now too. Seems that acquisitions of overture haven’t done much wonders. But then its search capabilities are quite recent. One thing that came from yahoo usage from previous usage is that it has huge space for indexing. It’s display of the things that are in its index are quite huge. More than the other two. May be because of redundancy.

What i best liked about google was the fast way in which it indexes new pages. I am sure that it's google only which can index the whole of net's data. At present no one has that might and will. Clearly Google is a winner. It’s search capabilities indexing are quite fast and not to mention to remove the redundancy faster too. Msn has leaped by leaps and bounds too. Yahoo isn’t that far. May be it just needs some time. Google will have to be constantly on its toes. But then why am I saying this. Google has always wowed us and delivered more than the consumer expected. Gmail is a classic example how it downed all the established email providers. The thing that yahoo couldn’t replicate in search platform.
