Here’s yet another question that I had which I would never have found the solution to if it wasn’t for Yahoo. Google couldn’t give me the answer.
My search is: “which of the following has an element that is less than any other element in that set” (with the quotes)
If you try the search without the quotes, you get meaningless results.
I tried Google first (why do I even bother?). It told me:
Your search - “which of the following has an element that is less than any other element in that set” - did not match any documents.
Then I tried Yahoo search. Two results, both exactly what I was looking for. Answered my question quickly and clearly. The results were:
Real math sat iic: how to do # 35, 48
A long list of math questions I need help on
Thanks, Yahoo! (Well-deserved exclamation point)
If you can’t find it with Google, try Yahoo. This isn’t the first time.

I just tried the search in Google and I did get a result:
Results 1 - 1 of 1 for “which of the following has an element that is less than any other element in that set”. (0.17 seconds)

You’re right! Now it does. Google probably found the link from my blog.

Nope.

Well then, another bad thing about Google is that it doesn’t return consistent results. You might get bad (or no) results sometimes, and good results other times depending on which server you happen to hit. It seems that I’ve mostly been hitting the bad servers

Google is screwed nowadays. i switched to yahoo nowadays to get better results. just compare SERPs for some competitive keywords and you will realize that google is no longer providing relavant results compared to yahoo.
