Five things Yahoo can do that Google can't...

Google is the most popular search engine in the world, but here are some cool things you can only do in Yahoo:

1. Write an email from the Yahoo search box.

Type in the search box:! mail [email protected], it will automatically give you a new email to write.

2. Search for lyrics for any song or artist you like.

Type the Madonna song lyrics and he will search for you.

3. Fix the order of search keywords.

If you only want to search for pages where X is in front of Y, rather than Y in X, just put the search term in the box. For example: [Sylvester Stallone] - only Sylvester's page in front of Stallone will appear.

4. Search for your favorite pages from Yahoo itself.

For example, hit! wiki google in the Yahoo search box, you will find Google at Wikipedia.com. Some other popular abbreviations are:! ebay, ! amazon, and ! flickr. You can also execute these search commands in the Firefox search box without changing the default search engine Settings.

5. Link domain - an informal Yahoo web search operation.

A quick question - can you find the number of Wikipedia articles that link to CNN.com? It's almost impossible to do this in Google, but you can easily do it in Yahoo! Using the incredible link field operation, the answer is:

linkdomain:cnn.com site:wikipedia.org
