Am talking about the hijacking that happens when nettiquette admonishments hijack a thread for no fault of the OP. What is the difference? It does not matter what the subject matter of the hijacker is, be it be netiquette admonishments or a technical query, or whatever.

I find the wisdom of the crowds - flickr based image search - much better for most things. Where it doesn't work is for celebrities / models types searches. It definitely works much better. Here is an example: http://flickr.com/search/?w=allq=jaguarm=tags Well, Shall i know, What OS and Searching Software ? they use ? i think, Google : GNU / Linux [ Debian ? ] Yahoo! : FreeBSD Yahoo! uses FreeBSD on the front-end servers and mostly GNU/Linux (RHEL) for the backend. The backend is mostly infrastructure from Inktomi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inktomi and its a different beast altogether. Backend is relatively much larger than the front-end servers. The front-end servers are basically just a bunch of web servers load balanced using Akamai's DNS service. The backend has several different species of things co-existing and even competing :) The 'tests' that are done inside Yahoo! claim statistically no difference between Yahoo!'s results and Google's results for the top N most common search terms. But I think Yahoo! Search has to improve a lot for local queries (ex: linux education in bangalore). Here's something that you might find interesting: http://developer.yahoo.com/searchmonkey/ - imagine searching for Linux CDs and there being a nice result showing which ILUGC folks have what CDs and what's their phone number - all in the search result page!
