Surf Canyon

Built on top of Yahoo! and Bing results, www.SurfCanyon.com employs real-time search personalization to re-rank the results as the search is being conducted. It's like an automated method of finding relevant information that might otherwise have remained buried on pages 2-100.

Yahoo! Search

Search is a critical part of people’s online lives and an important element of the Internet experience. Yahoo! Search is defining a new user experience that moves beyond 10 blue links to showcase all the elements of the web including photos, videos, games and more. In the past six months Yahoo! Search has unveiled a number of innovations across the Yahoo! Network designed to help people find and explore the things that matter most to them by providing a more personally relevant experience that better understands what people are looking for.

Google hands down!!!

Many have tried to beat Google, but have failed terribly. Why change from perfection? It offers everything needed, and my 95 year old grandmother has mastered it.
