Yahoo! is Clearly Confused About My Personal Relationships

Posted by randfish

Just a short one that Mystery Guest pointed out to me in a huff tonight - Yahoo! search team, I think you owe her some apologetic flowers after this one. Her exact words after showing me this search were "do you love her?":


"Vanessa Fox Fishkin"? Really? Yahoo!, you've gone too far this time. Search engines should find things for you, not put you in the doghouse with your new fiancée.

On a serious note, though, I have to say that I'm more than a little impressed with Yahoo!'s algorithmic upgrades. Their search results rival, and in some cases, exceed the quality I get at Google. Visiting with Si in New Jersey over the weekend, he commented that he barely visits Google anymore, since Yahoo! is his homepage and he now gets a satisfactory search result almost every time with them. I'm trying to convince Si to start commenting on the blog, despite his shy nature (at least, on the web).
