Rediscovery of Yahoo Search

Because of all the default settings in IE (Microsoft Live Search) and Firefox (Google Search) it is simple to forget that there is another good search engine that has been around from the "beginning of the WWW as we know it": Yahoo! search.
The strange thing is that what Microsoft does with IE and Livesearch, Mozilla is doing with Firefox and Google. Of course you can change your default search provider, but not everybody knows that and (wants to) use that.

Because of this blog about the good search suggestions that Yahoo! gives, I started to rediscover Yahoo!.
It has a nice clean interface and the results are much more relevant than the search with Live Search. The added "Search assist" is very powerfull and fast.

For some time now I want to use something else than the all-seeing Google. Understand me well: I have nothing against Google, I just think it is good to look at something else in stead of using something because everyone is using it.
