I've been a die-hard fan of Yahoo! for years. In part because BAOC had one of the first O' websites (started in 1994), and perhaps as a result, was long one of the top listed sites on Yahoo with a simple query of Orienteering.
But I just wanted to get some info on the US Champs, and lacking a link, I tried "us orienteering champs". Apparently Yahoo's # 8 was what I was looking for. But on Google, #1 was
http://www.pnwof.org/ , a darn direct link to this year's US orienteering championships information despite the fact that neither the phrase "us orienteering" or "orienteering champs' appears anywhere on the page...
This is perhaps the third time in recent months that Yahoo! has hit nothing and Google's found something. Is Google really better, or is it just the fact that I'm only checking Google when I've got a bad Yahoo! search to compare it to?
