5. Advanced Search - Nuclear, only in English, past six months
Google - 1, 410,000
Yahoo - 3,140,000
Ask - 68,400
6. Are the results significantly different? - Yes, the results were cut by more than a third.
7. Compare and Contrast the homepages:
I prefer Google and Ask because they are plain. Yahoo is too busy and I don't like it.
8. Compare and Contrast the results pages:
The Google and Yahoo results pages are similar in that they are not really "busy" and just list websites. The ASK website is busier and a little more complicated to navigate, but I do like the image section.
9. Which of the three do you find best.
I prefer Google but I think that it may be due to the fact that I use Google most often, ASK sometimes, and I never use Yahoo.
