Yahoo developed Instant Search technology in 2006
Sep 9th
I have just read a great article from a ex Yahoo Product Manager who has said that Yahoo developed similar
technology to Googles Instant search way back in 2006, it is amazing that this search product was
never released by Yahoo as it could have been a real game changer for the search company.
who knows Yahoo could have been a much larger search heavy weight if they brought out these products
back in 2006? It is all a case of what if? Also I would love to see what other products they were working
on back in the day.

Yahoo’s Results for Organic search Now Come From Bing

Yahoo’s Results for Organic search Now Come From Bing
Bing and Yahoo SEO
For US and Canada users the search transition is now complete, All Yahoo search results
will be showing Bing organic results. Yahoo SVP of search said that he is proud
to announce that the transition of organic search between Yahoo and Bing is now
completed.
Bing said that they are happy that Bing is not powering Yahoo search results in the US
and Canada, English is the only language currently yet others will follow in the coming
weeks.
This is great news for the two companies who will hopefully be able to join market share
together to combat Google as a power house in search. This means their equated search
volume is now close to 30% against Google’s 60+%.
