The Yahoo! and Microsoft Search Alliance team has reached yet another important milestone today. As planned, we are moving forward with the global transition of certain Yahoo! Search back-end functions to Microsoft’s search platform, and have just completed this process for organic search in Australia, Brazil and Mexico. This news is another step forward for the Yahoo! and Microsoft Search Alliance as we continue our efforts for a quality transition with our worldwide advertisers and partners.
We look forward to updating you with more news on our progress as we bring the benefits of our combined marketplace to customers around the globe.

I’m a fan of yahoo and I will support your team for ever, thanks~
all this growth kinda makes me uneasy about what its going to take to keep the organic ratings up in the future…
I have had nothing but problems with the format of Microsoft’s Ad service. It is confusing, non-intuitive, and error prone. I will say, however, that they do respond to issues and have actually called me to let me know they are working on issues.
When we should expect the total merge ? You know, sooner or later things should be placed in the same url. The microsoft search is used with moving, they had msn search, then live and then bing. While both brands ( live and bing ) are a little popular, this is because they were advertised well and most people don’t think that they are related to microsoft.
On the other hand, the yahoo search is integrated in the yahoo website and most people don’t see it proper to search on. I think a merge will result in a real competitor.
east or west yahoo is the best… keep it up yahoo………..
Hey, that really great and and I am glad to come to know about this update and I appreciate it.
Thanks:)
