| http://www.upi.com/Daily-Briefing/2009/07/29/July-29-2009/UPI-78931248872502/By United Press International Published: July 29, 2009 at 9:01 AM Internet search deal Microsoft and Yahoo! are teaming up for a deal in an attempt to grab Internet search market share from Google. A release Wednesday from the companies said Yahoo! will sell ads while Microsoft shares its Bing search technology to help searches via Yahoo! The agreement is expected to be worth billions of dollars. It also could cut into the stranglehold that Google has on the search market. An estimated 65 percent of Internet searches go through Google. Yahoo is second at slightly less than 20 percent and Microsoft is at less than 10 percent, industry data indicate. Google and Yahoo! had tried to cut an advertising deal in 2008 but it ended after federal regulatory concerns were raised. Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer, in the release, said the agreement will provide Microsoft's search engine, Bing, the scale necessary to more effectively compete, attracting more users and advertisers, which in turn will lead to more relevant ads and search results. Microsoft's CEO Steve Ballmer talks with Chinese and international journalists at a press briefing in Beijing, China on Monday, May 8, 2006. Microsoft gave a briefing in Beijing announcing that it is looking for Chinese partners. (UPI Photo/Stephen Shaver) | |

I ususally use webcrawler.com. It's an ad-free site which combines search results from Google and a few other search engines. | |

I stayed off the main stream and hung out on the Dear Abby boards where there was a group of regulars that were pretty cool. The Dear Abby regs even formed our own Yahoo Group which is still active to this day. | |

The whole idea is to get there names in the news. I remember before Google all you heard about was Yahoo. Now they are trying to get it mentioned enough people will try it out. It's sort of like advertising but you don't have to pay for it when the news people will do it for you. It's a lot cheaper that way. | |

Well it works like one but I'm not sure if they have their own search engine or if they just combine results from other search engines and lay them out for you. However they do it, on tough searches I've found that they sometimes yield slightly different results than I get just by querying Google alone. | |
