According to study found here http://vburton.ncsa.uiuc.edu/indexsize.html Google is still leading in amount of indexed pages contradicting Yahoo's claim. Looks like Yahoo is toot their own horns without any study to back up their claim as the king.

But bro try to search your main keyword in google and yahoo as well and see yahoo returns 84,100,000 results for "Php Hosting" while google returns 21,200,000 results. so what i get from this is that yahoo index is bigger then google. however it maybe true that yahoo have more spame pages indexed then google.
But thats the point of some of the studies, the 'estimated' results are way off. (both over-estimate, with yahoo the most) from the first article:
Once again -- who gives a crap who has the bigger index? It only matters that you get into and show up in Google because only Google matters if you want traffic.
Bound to be a bunch of pages in both indexes that are not search friendly and don't come up under any type of search request. I'm thinking about user logs and stuff like that.
4 out of 5 dentists recommend trident to their patients who chew gum. does that mean trident is the best gum? No it sucks.
Yes i check both google only shows 79 pages at most so that mean google only show 790 results for php hosting. http://www.google.com.pk/search?q=php+hosting&hl=en&lr=&start=990 while yahoo shows 1000 results for same keyword and 100 pages. http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=ph...M2x4s3K7-vMI.&pstart=21&fr=FP-tab-web-t&b=991
That "Study" is BS.... It doesn't prove anything at all... Without comparing actual DB size, how is anyone going to know? Anyway - who cares... It's not how big it is, it's how you use it [FYI, Yahoo! uses it better]
When i use to search i first search using google if then i m not satisfied then uses msn and at last yahoo ( as most of pages in yahoo are spam pages). Thats how i used to search what about u guys ?
God I love these sweeping statements.. So Mr SearchEngine Expert - What are you basing your fantastic deductions on?
