Yahoo! to the Max,
By
This review is from: Yahoo! to the Max: An Extreme Searchers Guide (Paperback)
Yahoo! To The Max: An Extreme Searcher Guide is a outline of all of the resources and services offered by Yahoo! These varied services range from search engine and directory services through news and discussion groups to shopping and games. Many of these services are available to the general public however to make full use of all the Yahoo! resources and services, the author of this book encourages readers to join Yahoo! as a free member.
Yahoo! To The Max: An Extreme Searcher Guide is mainly for those who haven't really explored Yahoo! or those that don't realize that Yahoo! is much more than a search engine. Nonetheless, even the Internet surfing expert will find a few services or reference resources that he or she never even knew existed. As the author says, the best way to learn about the services offered at Yahoo! and on the Internet in general is to click on the various links and fully explore the areas that interest you the most.

A renewed appreciation for Yahoo,
By Harold McFarland - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Yahoo! to the Max: An Extreme Searchers Guide (Paperback)
Well I hadn't used Yahoo for the last several years because I could do whatever I wanted on Google. So, I didn't really know what I was missing until I read through this book and tried the myriad of little tricks detailed throughout. Yahoo has grown up and is a serious competitor to other search engines as well as a preferred site for some purposes. Author Randolph Hock introduces the reader to the details of various services of Yahoo including Groups, News, Mail, Messenger, GeoCities, Chat, Message Boards, Shopping, Auctions, Classifieds, and Finance. If that isn't enough he includes information on how to use Yahoo's city guides, maps, weather, people search, and lots of other useful stuff. Have you ever been to a website that did not have a search function? I've been to a lot of them. The author details how to deal with these situations using Yahoo and including site:www.sitename.com on the search line. When you do this it just searches that site! Or if you want to find all the sites that link to another site you can use the link syntax in the search box. I did that and it returned eight links. Surprisingly I did the same thing on Google and it only returned four and only one of them was the same in both engines. A couple of more searches following the instructions in the book and I was surprised to find that in several instances Yahoo returned more relevant results than my old favorite Google. With lots of details on how to use Yahoo effectively, Yahoo to the Max is a highly recommended book which has convinced me that I can often get the results I am looking for more easily from Yahoo than from competitors.
