Yahoo Passes Google in Total Items Searched

Posted by timothy on from the it-depends-what-you're-looking-for dept.

tonyquan writes "Yahoo announced today that its search engine passed Google's for overall capacity, with 20 billion documents and images indexed versus 11.3 billion for Google. Observers had previously pegged Yahoo's index at just 8 billion items. The growth is due to a recent expansion effort. More info can be found on the Yahoo! Search blog and at CNet."

    Oh, thanks for explaining that. Very helpful. It wasn't clear to me before you explained it that way. Yes. Big help.

    Any other wisdom to share, captain obvious?

    If your assertion is true then Google has nowhere to go but down. So, care to post an example of a search that yields relevant Google results but fails to do so on Yahoo? I'm betting you haven't even tried... you are just another empty-headed Slashdot sheep following the crowd.
