End Date for Yahoo Search?

[escapeso]

Does anyone know the date for the death of yahoo search. I hear sometime around the beginning of the year. Has anything more concrete come out.

Bing results should be appearing on the Yahoo! sites in the second half of 2010. See: www_pandia_com/sew/1944-the-end-of-yahoo-search-bing-takes-over.html

interesting. I would have thought it would have been early 2010. I guess with large companies its hard to move too fast. Or maybe they have long term agreements with some advertisers.

It will be interesting to see if yahoo loses market share between now and then assuming their results are going to get worse since it has to be a low priority.

Will there be no more Yahoo search or will the results on Yahoo search just be from Bing?

[Malok]

It should be the latter.

Yahoo will be there (for a while anyway), but the search results will be Bing driven.

They certainly move slow. Are they still waiting for regulatory approval?

You have to think that Yahoo Search is losing market share every month, and keeping the old results up for another year won't help things.

They are saying Q1 2010, but it's anybodies guess if that is a realistic date.

Thanks for the clarifications. I don't really like Bing so I am not sure if I understand what the reasons for the combination of Yahoo and Bing are.

I agree too, bing bing bing!

I often find better results in Yahoo than I do in Google, but Yahoo's days are numbered.
