I searched “muddy boots” in both google and yahoo, here’s what I found:

Google reported 142,000 relevant images of muddy boots and people wearing their muddy boots, yahoo only reported 3,700 images.  Yahoo reported its findings in thumbnail form that allowed for about only 20 thumbnails per page, where googles were listed in a top to bottom list allowing for more hits to be displayed on the page.  Listing the hits from top to bottom allowed for easier navigation. If I were searching for images on the we I would use google over yahoo.

The same can be said for searching for muddy boots videos on the web.  Google reported 480 relevant videos of people stomping through the mud, where yahoo only reported 2 videos of people actually getting there boots dirty.  Google allowed for easier navigation than yahoo.

Google wins.
