Yahoo Alpha - customize your search engine

Yahoo! Alpha - Google Custom Search Engine Gets a Competitor

This is what I am talking about, a fully customize search engine for everyone. Yahoo seems to be moving the right path by introducing the Alpha search engine which is currently in beta mode. It is believed to be better in term of user friendliness.

Instead of just returning results in text form, it search for images and videos at the same time. There is also results form Wikipedia and others. There’s also a special module called “Sponsored Results” that displays text ads based on your search query.

Yahoo Aplha is currently in beta, I can’t wait for version 1.0 to be release. Finally Google has a new found enemy. Go ahead and give it a try!

Ms Dewey Search Engine

Ms Dewey Search Engine

This must be the world’s stupidest and annonying search engine ever coded by human beings. So much time and effort went into it and I can only say - it sucks. The app also had my Firefox crawling on its knees, lagging it to snail pace. The search results are irrelevant to what I am looking for, on top of that, she is super annonying and she thinks she is funny.

I don’t think it’s clever enough to be funny… and it’s not really clever enough to be clever. And “Ms. Dewey” annoys the hell out of me! It’s a shame really, because I thought it actually looked quite good before I tried using it.. - Tony Ruscoe

The New Yahoo! Search Crawler (Slurp) Is Here!

July 31, 2006 · Filed Under Uncategorized · Comment 

yahoo_search_crawler_slurp.gif

Yahoo just launch their new crawler name Slurp. What a name! Sound so much like Slut or Sluggish, and indeed it is. According to Yahoo, the new Slurp crawl your site less and consumer less bandwidth. Not only that, they’ve assure webmasters out there that the new crawler would boost ranking for sites that provide good contents.

Now, with the new crawler in full production, we have turned off the old crawler and site owners should see a much lower crawl load without a loss in content coverage. With this change of behavior in the crawler, you may see some shuffling of the pages that are included in the index and some changes in ranking as well

That is really good. We need to thank yahoo for making this change. Hope the new slurp is healthy and eats only fresh food and generates better indexes and SERPs thereforth.
