Search Engines and Algorithms: New Social Search - Comparing Yahoo! and AnooX
(Page 4 of 5 )
Comparing Yahoo’s and AnooX’s Social Searches
So how does the way AnooX works compare to Yahoo’s Social Search? Let’s look at some similarities.
The influence of the community plays a part in both Yahoo’s and AnooX’s Social Search engines.
SERPs can be influenced or manipulated.
SEO efforts will provide only some relevancy tools, but human popularity and politics could be more effective.
Both rely upon an algorithmic basis for generating results, then supplementing relevancy by human choices.
Now, let’s look at a few points where they differ.
AnooX believes the majority is right and should completely influence the search results, whereas Yahoo considers it only a small factor to be influence by.
AnooX attempts to verify identities in order to try to obtain objective results; Yahoo does not.
Yahoo’s search results are returned in less than a second, while AnooX’s results can easily take up to 10 seconds.
