Yahoo! and Microsoft announced this Monday that the transition of Yahoo organic search from Yahoo to Microsoft technology is complete in US and Canada. Now, almost all forms of Yahoo search, including Web, Images, and Video search on computers and mobiles are powered by Microsoft platform. What this means for users is that for any search query the organic results from both Bing and Yahoo will be identical. You will also see “Powered by Bing” at the bottom of the Yahoo search results page.
Shashi Seth of Yahoo said
The speed in which this was completed is a testament to the great work and partnership between a number of Yahoo! and Microsoft employees, the ranks of which are numerous.
Last month, Yahoo! and Microsoft search alliance started testing displaying organic search results from Bing in Yahoo! on a smaller scale, After the success tests, Yahoo and Microsoft began the complete transition of serving Microsoft search technology to Yahoo in US and and Canada last week.
