When will Microsoft's Bing take over Yahoo's search functions? Are there any rumors or official deadlines?
Well i think the deal was finalized maybe they are working on it at the moment but its still not live
There is no official word or deadline on the merger but I guess the integration process would already be ON, in the back office! Regards, RightMan
The deal is official, but there are some legal issues that have to be dealt with before the change in the results can actually take effect. Nobody knows the exact date when it will switch over. However, you might see some integration with advertisements in the meantime. If you search for a simple word like "large" in both Yahoo and Bing, you will see a difference in the results and their order.
My site is to test the results from different search engines, and I just did some searches but bing and yahoo have different results.
I will be glad when they do ... yahoo.bot uses far too much bandwidth for the number of visits it sends and i assume when they start to show results from bing then yahoo.bot will go and just have to deal with msn.bot
