hewee, that is true, but would be much more better if both sides of the frames could be fed from one entry; as it is now, you gotta enter it in the google side AND then enter it into the yahoo side, pressing enter also for each side; heck, w/ FF's tabs, you might as well have that, almost the same However, by entering the words of interest in the web browser space, substituting the words for your example of rockn, THEN! ya can do what I'm after... ok,

Substitute whatever words you are interested in for the word Rockn, after the "+" sign, and then hit enter...
http://www.yagoohoogle.com/search.php?q=+Rockn

However, evidently I don't think you can use "quotation marks" to combine a phrase in the title browser bar...

Seems that the speed is quite variable, even for the same search strings. And the "winner" as far as who is faster changes too, depending upon the search.

Hmmmm... now yahoo is on the left, and google is on the right. And here I am, stuck here in the middle with you...


sorry..

Yea they need a 3 frame at the top so you can alway have the main search of http://www.yagoohoogle.com/ page to type in.

But who is that site from and how are they making money to run it if it only takes you to other sites searchs. It is showing the search on there servers so it is costing them money.

Yea, was wondering that... have tried a search for yagoohoogle, but haven't had much luck in finding out who is behind the scenes w/ this - only the rumour that its someone in Norway that's running the show...

Hi... I always thought that the Yahoo search engine was powered by Google. No?

Nope. Yahoo and Google are two different companys. The Yahoo seach also powers Altavista search and I think a few others.

Yahoo used to use Google for their search engine, but they've since developed their own, competition and all that.
