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.
[...] In my opinion, the Google services that stink, at this moment, right now, compared to the competition (not old 5-10 year old comparisons) are Orkut and Search. These two failures are even currently doing harm to the world. Yes, search. Yahoo search has them beat, which I’ve noted before. Orkut is easily beaten by Facebook and LinkedIn. Heck, even lots of Google employees use LinkedIn. I think Orkut has really made the world worse off, especially with its incredible popularity due mainly to its affiliation to Google, not anything notable about the service itself. [...]
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
Nope.

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