Yahoo still relied on Google for image search and and News search was a combination of Yahoo\u2019s own editorial and technological resources.<\/p>\n<p>The quality of Yahoo\u2019s results were impressive at the time. As for what was being indexed:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Yahoo Search index is capturing the full text of web pages, up to a 500K limit. This is greater than the 101K maximum indexed by Google. A broad range of file types, including HTML, PDF, and Microsoft Office documents is also included in the mix.<\/p>\n<p>How big is Yahoo\u2019s index? They aren\u2019t saying, despite Google\u2019s announcement yesterday that it has expanded its index to nearly 4.3 billion documents (6 billion, if you count images and newsgroup postings, as Google does).<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, in almost all of my tests with random queries, Yahoo reports more results found than Google. Does this mean that Yahoo\u2019s index is bigger? Perhaps \u2014 but reported results are estimates, not exact counts. They also can include factors other than keyword matches and so are notoriously unreliable measures of overall index size. Suffice to say that Yahoo\u2019s index is comparable to Google\u2019s for most queries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Search Engine Watch, <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20040616090702\/http:\/\/searchenginewatch.com\/searchday\/article.php\/3314171\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yahoo!
