The other day, I wrote a memo in the process of investigating the influence of Venice Update.Even if Yahoo! is affiliated with Google in the United States, the detailed specifications around the search are different.Since the method of acquiring the current location information is also different, the results of Yahoo! search and Google search may differ for users in the same place.
Google (search from PC)
Google (search from smartphone)
Yahoo! Search (search from PC)
Yahoo! Search (search from smartphones)
As described above, Google Search and Yahoo! Search have different ways to judge the current location.Google can change its current location, whereas Yahoo! must be set from the current situation (January 12, 2015) Yahoo!
Both smartphones need to be set to share the current location (a pop -up message comes out).
Google, who uses many signals to determine the current location accurately, has higher search results localization accuracy.Examples of the survey conducted during the year-end and New Year holidays (Reference: The meaning and role of the "search ranking" indicators that change in the venice update), Docomo connected to Wi-Fi from the notebook PC in front of Hotel Aosocia Shizuoka near Shizuoka Station.When I connected to the Internet using a line data communication terminal, Google search (although it was 200 meters shifted), about the information around Shizuoka Station, but Yahoo! Search did search results in Osaka city.I have put it out.
If there is such a difference in the determination accuracy of the current location information, the search results seen by users (even physically in the same place), although the venice update will be reflected in the natural search results of the two.There are many.Enhancement of mobile search also means to understand the location and present the relevance according to it.If the location information sharing is allowed when using Yahoo! Search (because GPS information can be obtained), there is no problem, but assuming various usage status, Google, which can refer to various information, has a higher judgment accuracy.I agree.
