We’re pleased to announce additional progress of our Search Alliance with Microsoft. This week we have transitioned algorithmic results to Microsoft in France, Germany, India, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom.
Just last week we announced Yahoo! transitioned certain back-end functions for Yahoo! Search over to Microsoft’s search platform in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, New Zealand, Peru and Venezuela.
Today’s announcement of six new countries brings us to total of 17 countries: (in alphabetical order) Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada (English), Chile, Columbia, France, Germany, India, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Spain, the United Kingdom, United States, and Venezuela.
As always, our top priority is to provide a quality transition experience and we are working closely with local teams to understand the specific needs of each country. We will continue to keep you updated as we expect to transition additional countries across Europe and Asia in the coming months.

are there in the US, China or UK?
This is a very exciting development for the team yahoo
whether for all countries in Asia can be executed
What I don’t fully understand, is how Microsoft pay-per-click system for Ad-Central STILL does not support geolocation based advertising. Such as advert for a local bakery for local area, not nationwide. Google can pin point to local town, Microsoft at the moment, can only identify all England as London, which is no good for a bakery or similar small business who wants local business only.
just my 2 cents worth.
I will wait for additional transition countries in Europe and Asia in the coming months
