read first this:

Then watch this (all the lectures please, btw the guy you see on the first video is one of the two who build Google):

And as a little bonus, explore this link (you may need Google account, if you don't, then search for "personal search engine Google"):

Watching that videos from Berkeley University I found that for me it was more about Google as company than Google as search engine. One with Yahoo was interesting and about topic. How they think about users, what they will put as keywords, and what they want as result and how Yahoo can help them in achieving that. But there is a little difference between these two search machines. Probably that's the reason why Google is more popular.
