- Yahoo has integrated its search and sponsored search services with Microsoft.
- As part of this integration, Yahoo shares with Microsoft your search query, IP address, anonymous information from your web browser (such as a unique identifier for your web browser) and other anonymous data (such as demographics including gender and age in whole years).
- Microsoft uses this information, as well as your search results clicks, for search product improvement, research and analysis, to provide more relevant search results and search advertising, and to help detect and defend against fraudulent activity on sponsored search results.
- Yahoo formats results provided by Microsoft’s Bing search service to provide an enhanced search experience to you.
- To learn more about Bing’s data collection and use practices, please read the Bing Privacy Policy.
Search
- When visitors conduct a search on a site that uses Yahoo Search Technology (YST), Yahoo collects information from that experience in the same manner as if the search were conducted on Yahoo directly.
- Search Assist helps you find what you are looking for. As you type, Search Assist automatically offers popular search terms and phrases in real time. After you’ve searched, it suggests additional search terms to try as well as new topics to consider. Search Assist bases suggestions on aggregated searches across all users and does not base suggestions on your individual search history.
- Some advertising you receive may be customised based on your searches at Yahoo.
- Yahoo Search uses image recognition algorithms to identify public figures, scenes, actions and objects to make it easier to search for images.

Yahoo! Search is an Internetsearch engine. It is owned by Yahoo! Inc. and was, as of December 2009, the 2nd largest search engine on the web by query volume, at 6.42%, after its competitor Google at 85.35% and before Baidu at 3.67%, according to Net Applications.
Originally, Yahoo! Search started as a web directory of other websites, organized in a hierarchy, as opposed to a searchable index of pages. In the late 1990s, Yahoo! evolved into a full-fledged portal with a search interface and, by 2007, a limited version of selection-based search.
Yahoo! Search, originally referred to as Yahoo! provided Search interface, would send queries to a searchable index of pages supplemented with its directory of sites. The results were presented to the user under the Yahoo! brand. Originally, none of the actual web crawling and storage/retrieval of data was done by Yahoo! itself. In 2001 the searchable index was powered by Inktomi and later was powered by Google until 2004, when Yahoo! Search became independent.
Yahoo Search Engine History
On July 29, 2009, Microsoft and Yahoo! announced that Bing would power Yahoo! Search.[3] All Yahoo! Search global customers and partners will be shifted to Bing by early 2012.[4]
