SearchBoth Claims People Prefer Google 70% Of The Time
SearchBoth, a search engine referral service owned by Toll Free Yellow Pages, has published a survey today suggesting that 70% of respondents prefer Google over the other engines. They note, "On a survey performed on SearchBoth.com by over 1,000 voters, 70% of voters prefer Google over any other search engine, 16% preferred Yahoo!, 8% preferred Ask and 5% preferred MSN. The results were staggering. More than two thirds of the voters prefer Google for search engine results. What most people do not know is that on average 70% of the first 100 results shown on Google and Yahoo! are completely different."
I just did a quick search on both for Web 2.0 and the first page results were almost identical - even down to the videos. The question is whether a person really needs to do searches on multiple engines to find the best results. I do multiple searches rarely.
I do like the look of the results pages on SearchBoth - if you want to search on both, it works well (that is once you get past the home page I note below). A lot of scrolling, but does let you see everything at once. TWERQ has some of this functionality plus a lot more as well - if you want to search multiple engines, TWERQ handles it better.
Side note: Go check out the SearchBoth home page for one of the most busy, out of alignment, scary, poorly designed, wack home pages I have ever seen. How do they expect anyone to use their service when you can't even figure out what goes with which? Please hire a designer!
What is this???:












I prefer google search and have tried google and yahoo, msn, side by side. Google gave more results in most of cases.
Hello,
www.GahooYoogle.com was the first website to allow such functionalities, and the credit of the idea must go to them! Later they lunched another search engine named www.PolyCola.com that was an expansion to the idea of www.GahooYoogle.com.
GahooYoogle.com was chosen as hotsite by USAToday in 2005 and was talked about in BBC Radio and many more places in newspapers and the media!
