I am sure you all know that google is the world's favorite search engine but check here yahoo search can do some fine things that google cannot...
- Compose emails from the Yahoo! search box.
Type !mail abc@xyz.com in the Yahoo! search box and it will automatically compose a new email message for you in Yahoo! mail. - Get Lyrics of any song or your favorite artist.
Type madonna lyrics (for lyrics of Madonna songs) or madonna material girl lyrics (for lyrics of a particular song) - Specifiy the order of search keywords in queries
Say you want only web pages where word x comes before y but not vice versa, then just put the search query in Square Brackets. An example:
[Sylvester Stallone] - will only return web pages where the word Sylvester appear before Stallone. - Search your favorite websites from Yahoo! itself.
For instance, type !wiki google in Yahoo! search box to search Google in Wikipedia.com. Other popular shortcuts are !ebay, !amazon, and !flickr.
