Yagoohoogle

April 6, 2005

Yagoohoogle lets you run a search and compare, side by side, the results from Google & Yahoo.  Not only does this have a nice mini-metasearch application, but I think it has teaching applications as well–showing your patrons and/or staff how the same search run in each service will return different hits, display similarities, truncation and boolean differences, etc.  I think I’ll be using this in the Web Searching 101 class I’ll be teaching this summer…

First found on Sites & Soundbytes, but seen a dozen places since then

    Very nice… How did I miss that one? I like that it shows four engines’ results, but it’s a little irksome that when you scroll down one list, they all scroll. I suppose I see the logic in that, but because results are presented differently (annotation-length wise), you’re not always looking at the same result numbers anyway. Hmmmm, but yes, another tool to put in my search tool chest. Thanks!

    good idea, but i had already created somthing like this. You can search up to 4 different search engines. There are 15 different search engines you can search from (more to come) the site is http://rjnsmith.com I hope this will be usefull to everyone! Just recentally, i have added IMAGE search, NEWS search and INFO search. You can choose any 4 search engines and the screen will divide your browser into 4 windows displaying each of the search engine results.

    Wow…check out http://rjnsmith.com . Nice site, more options than any of the other “compare this and that” search sites I’ve seen. Very impressive work for a 16-year-old!

    I rather like http://www.comparesearches.com. The layout seems a bit more convenient to me.
