Yahoo! A Little Bit of Search History
Tuesday January 22, 2008
It seems there's a bit of change happening with Yahoo!
lately. There were talks on Monday Jan 21st 2008 that Yahoo! was
going to layoff between 1500-2500 employees, but an update on
Tuesday Jan 22nd 2008 has downsized this to layoffs in the 100s
most likely and there's also talks of
Yahoo! once again outsourcing it's search to another provider (Yahoo
Outsourcing Search Again?).
Below is a quick overview of Yahoo! and it's Search History, so
you can see that they have in the past used Google. Also it will
be interesting to see what Yahoo! has in plan for Alta Vista and AllTheWeb.com. Both of these are owned by Yahoo! and use it's
database for search results.
- In May of 1998, Yahoo! Web Search is powered by Inktomi
