Sex Search

I am completely bored while in a grad school course. The teacher lectures in a monotone that would put a kid with ADD to sleep. MY GOD!!!


So I am messaging my buddies and we were talking about all the stupid porn sites that are popping up on Myspace. I dont know how they do it, but some people have direct links to them. You click to send them a message or add them, or a bulletin and you are directly transported to some "LIVE WEBCAM GIRLS" site or "HOT GIRLS CUMMING FOR YOU" site.

Now, I admit I occasionally check out a porn site or two, but I am not an addict or anything. Anyway, we are messaging about how many porn sites there are and we decide to kill time by doing some research. We each take a term and decide to do a search for that term. There are 4 of us, so we take 4 terms: Sex, porn, fuck, and XXX. We decide to do a search on Google and Yahoo for each term. I get assigned SEX for my homework.

So I start my search on Google. Within 0.05 seconds, I got the results 1 - 10 of about 77,700,000 for sex. This was the result for my search in the category Web. Now let's move on and try out the other categories... in the category Images my search for sex already took a little bit longer (0.06 seconds) and delivered me results 1 - 20 of about 1,960,000 for sex. SafeSearch was off. Ok, next category: Groups. 0.33 seconds and got the results 1 - 10 of 10,700,000 for the keyword sex. Did you realize something? For the categories Web and Images, the results were always "about" - now for the Groups I get the results without any "about". Don't know if that has some sort of major signifigance or not. Let's do our final search for sex now in the category News. Within 0.32 results 1 - 10 of about 50,200 for sex. Now it again "about". So only within the category Groups, the results are exactly? That is weird.

So here is the breakdown for Google:

Web: about 77,700,000 results for sex
Images: about 1,960,000 results for sex
Groups: 10,700,000 results for sex
News: about 50,200 results for sex

But what about Yahoo? Does Yahoo get the same number of results for sex? Let's try it out...

I start again with the Category Web and entered "sex" into the searchmask. 0.01 seconds and I had results 1 - 10 of about 313,000,000 for sex. Let's move on to the category Images. This category gives me results 1 - 20 of about 7,676,451 for sex within 0.04 seconds. On Yahoo we have a new category Video, so I checked this out too: the search took 0.04 seconds and gave me 280,799 results for sex. Another category we didnt have on Google is Directory, which has just 4,299 results for sex. The next one we can compare again: News. Within this category there are 32,100 results for sex. A very interesting one was the last category Shopping. I would have expected at least some results here - but: 0 results for sex. So where are all the sex-shops?!

Here again the results for the keyword sex at Yahoo, of the categories we also have at Google:

Web: about 313,000,000 results for sex
Images: about 7,676,451 results for sex
News: 32,100 results for sex

So in general it seems, for the keyword sex, Yahoo is the winner actually in the categories Web and Images. Google is the winner in the category News.

Of course there are a lot of other search engines out there too - but did not have the time to check 'em out all and Google and Yahoo are my favorite ones, if I am looking for something on the web

Anyway, I am posting my results. I am going to wait and see if my research colleagues did their part. Hopefully, I will get some info from them to post in the near future. We are all in this class, but at different sites. It is a TV type course. Two of the guys couldnt search for their words since it was blocked at the school site they were at. They promise they will get it done tonight.

I guess that is it. Man, I am soooooo bored!!!!!!! If anyone wants any other search comparisons, post them. Maybe I can do some type of research paper on internet sex searches. Maybe we are becoming a perverse society!!!!! ;)
