Yahoo Search Direct??? Google Instant???

One week since Yahoo launched it's new search feature, "Search Direct"! "Search Direct is the fundamental shift in search in more than a decade, We believe Search Direct will be the simplest and fastest to find answers and not links!" says Yahoo on the launch of beta version of the feature @US..

Yahoo Search Direct starts as soon as you click inside the search box where as Google Instant does after a few words are typed in search box.. The outcome? If instant and most importantly "relevant" information is given, it does really keep users smiling and give them a way away from "wild goose chase" to find answers for their simplest of queries... Yahoo Search Direct does provide the top 30 results and provide the top most 10 likely searches and for each of those the top 3 results.. On the user selection of a site, it is directly rendered without the unnecessary result page... This does reduce the time between entry of search query and getting the results in a way although Google Instant also helps one to frame the search queries faster!

Despite all efforts, there is a strong opinion that both engines do not render "relevant and most wanted results" - they are still yet to become "What you think is what you get" kind of search engines...... We should of course mention that the various features coming up these days on both the search engines do reduce the search efforts in terms of framing the query.. The "semantic" proximity of the search results to the query are yet to go a long way...... What i mean is that the search engines are still syntactic in the very sense...........
