When you're the champ, everybody takes a shot-and sometimes it's a shot below the belt (the belt being the equator). Yahoo! Australia and New Zealand gives a bloke a second option if, for some strange reason, they want search for Google on Yahoo!

Of course, it begs the question, why would anybody search for [google] on Yahoo!'s search engine in the first place? But that's neither here nor there, as Search Engine Journal's Loren Baker and Google insider Matt Cutts point out. Testing reveals that, sure enough (for Southerners, that's "show-nuff"), an Aussie Yahoo! search brings back a second chance search box at the top of the results reading "Try the new Yahoo! Search." As for MSN, AOL? All seems status quo. And Ask Jeeves? The search box for [google] disappears and a promo for Yahooligans is in its place. "Maybe Yahoo sees searches for Google as a serious competitve area and searches for Ask Jeeves as a minor threat (get it? minor? kids? ba dum dum ching! wacka wacka wacka!)," writes Baker.
