A Web site that allows Netizens to conduct searches using both Yahoo and Google concurrently has been unveiled.

Dubbed Gahooyoogle, the site includes a search bar for users to enter search terms, which will be parsed to both search engines. Results are displayed on a single screen within the Web browser.

According to the Whois Internet domain registry, the Gahooyoogle domain name was registered in Tehran, the capital city of Iran, by an individual named Arbel Hakopian. The site's top visitors are from India, United States, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Italy and Singapore.

Ranked the second and third most popular after Microsoft Web sites worldwide in January 2007, Google and Yahoo recorded 502.5 million and 467.8 million visitors, respectively, according to market research company comScore. Microsoft Web sites were the most popular with 510.3 million visitors.

This is a copycat site of sorts. Asgeir Neilsen (blog.asgeirnilsen.com) did that several years ago, and was "approached" by both companies and askded to drop the name Yagoohoogle. So he now runs a site on his home server call Twingine (www.twingine.com) which still does the same thing. More info about the site at blog.twingine.com
