In some quarters search engine industry experts were revising their estimates on exactly how long it would take Yahoo! to really give Google a run for the money. Other search engine optimisation experts allowed themselves smug smiles and a "told you so".
Despite the impressive start it hasn't been entirely clear sailing for Yahoo! The Yahoo.co.uk results are still on the old database. Yahoo! UK lagging behind is especially interesting for search engine marketers looking at paid placement and at the Site Match and Site Match Xchange services which have superseded the old Inktomi services. But that's getting technical. What about a clear illustration of teething troubles at the search engine such as a failed search?
