If the text doesn't appear on any pages, the search engines are not going to find it. They are not magic. Search engines search for WHAT YOU ASK FOR, NOT WHAT YOU WANT. For all I know there is no such thing as a part # LP200 by Innotek. Google does have news, and other stuff. They are not just a portal like Yahoo.

They use to be the leaders, if I was searching results for a product name or model number would bring up either the vendor's own pages or a few user comment pages. This was of great help in determining whether a product was worth purchasing and a help in finding replacement parts. Now Google returns either hundreds of garbage pages that is nothing to do with the keyword traps or half-assed storefront pages or nothing is returned at all. For example, when looking some info on an Innotek invisible fence part# LP200 http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLG,GGLG:2005-22,GGLG:en&q=innotek+invisible+fence+LP200 I received “innotek invisible fence LP200 - did not match any documents” see for yourself: It’s pure junk. There's nothing but storefront pages. What a waste of time. People want good search results. Don't be surprised when the go the way of the rest of the dot bombed stocks. An added bonus when you use Yahoo.com is you get more then just search results you get email, news, weather, movie reviews, etc, etc, etc...Compare the pages www.yahoo.com & www.google.com who do you think offers more? Google appears only to be in it for the money. Google sucks lately; searching for product info on Google has become an absolutely pointless waist of time.
