All will prefer google i know..in google the search page comes empty and it the search portion only comes..there is no need of distractions and the people who needs to search are getting wot they want... Then why yahoo is not following there strategy..As we all know it will take time for yahoo to get displayed in browser (This will be one of the fact why yahoo not getting much visitors?)... So why yahoo is not prefering this and not trying a beta version???
Submit your sitemaps to Bing and Yahoo, trust me you will get traffic. You will also get better rankings than Google for the time being. Lew
I think Yahoo want's to stand out from general search engine display format but this won't make people to choose Google beyond Yahoo. It's all about result and speed so Google always rocks
