google.
yahoo, though it does have some search engine tendencies is more of a directory... like a card catalog in a library. and, i don't think it uses spiders like google. so, the data that's in there doesn't seem quite as up to date.
i could be wrong, but i know it took like two years for my website to change categories after it went from a failed unexplaned phenomena site to just a personal site. even though i tried and tried to switch categories manually, AND switched the content over completely. google's spiders would've noticed on their own within a week or two that the content had changed, and updated their indexes automatically.
that really made me question how many other sites were categorized incorrectly on yahoo.

actually that definition is pretty much overly complicated.
basically a spider is:
a computer program that prowls the internet looking for publicly accessible resources that can be added to a database; the database can then be searched with a search engine.
and yahoo doesn't use em.

i'm not sure i understand... they're both seperate independant public companies... at least i'm pretty sure they are.
i don't think anyone really owns them. stockholders sorta do.

The search engine and directory at Yahoo! are separate entities, though there's some combining at the front-end.
The directory is put together by hand, the search was/is provided by Google. That may have changed now though because I know they bought a company to provide them with their own search engine capability.

google & yahoo are both just lists of websites.
they don't own any of the sites they list just because they're listed there.
i could make a list of websites i like and put it on my site... but, really i would have no affiliation with those sites at all. just like many sites are linked to on xltronic.
it's just that google and yahoo are really usefull, so lots of people go there.
