Sina Science and technology news Beijing time October 2, according to foreign media reports, Yahoo has upgraded the web search engine, hoping to play a greater role in the user more attractive. Prior to this, a number of search service providers have upgraded the search engine, hoping to challenge Google's market dominance, but has not received much success.

Upgrade Search engine

Yahoo said in Tuesday that it was the most important upgrade to its search engine since it was back-controlled after 3.5. Scott Kessler, a Scott Kesler analyst, said the search engine upgrade could at least boost the morale of Yahoo's employees, even without taking into account other aspects of the impact. Before that, Yahoo co-founder and CEO Jerry Yang had promised to rebuild Yahoo's reputation as an internet innovator. Yahoo's search engine upgrade has provided strong support for his commitment.

"Does the search engine upgrade help Yahoo to grab more market share?" he said. I'm not sure. However, the upgrade can at least improve the Yahoo search engine in the minds of users. One important reason why Google is so popular with so many users is that the company offers a lot of different and interesting things. "In order to reverse the weak performance of the company, the continued decline in share prices, Yang Semel this June, replacing Semel as Yahoo CEO."

From June 2000 to May 2004, Yahoo has been using Google technology to drive its search engine. Because of Yahoo's decision, Google has grown from a small company to the current web-search monopoly, which accounts for more than 50% of the U.S. market. After the search engine upgrade, when the user entered the keyword in the search box, Yahoo will be under the search box to show the user may be interested in the phrase. Yahoo search engine will provide users with a series of related concepts, and the main search results page to generate more pictures, videos and music links. Yahoo's search engine also gets information from the Yahoo Calendar service (upcoming.org), highlighting local events related to search requests.

Competitors say nothing new

Yahoo's new features added to the search engine upgrade are similar to those previously upgraded by Google, Ask.com and Microsoft. Jim Lanzone, chief executive of Ask.com, said the upgrade was only aimed at narrowing the gap with rivals rather than leading search technology innovation. "We are already considering the next phase of the upgrade," he said. To meet the needs of users, search engines need constant innovation. The more searches that are completed, the higher the user's expectations. ”

Yahoo believes that, compared with its competitors, the company joined more comprehensive functions, especially in music, movies and pictures and other fields. Vish Makhijani, senior vice president of Yahoo's search business, Wish Makojani, said: "For example, in order to add a large picture library from Flickr to the search results, our image index is much larger than our competitors." Our goal is to do our best in specific areas. "(Executive editor Admin 04)
