Yeah they haven't for several months now. And in fact, Yahoo has it's own search engine now at Yahoo Search which is different than just plan old Yahoo

Yahoo was never a search engine per se, it was a directory. Now, Yahoo has both a directory and a search engine. And soon, Microsoft will have a search engine, too.

And Yahoo's presence is actually helping us all because they are the first bigger player to show up in the ring to take on Google, so Google can't call all of the shots anymore. They're still the biggest, but they've got to consider their competition now. I've noticed a couple of adjustments in Google's algorithm that are a direct result of the appearance of some competition.

I was just at a search engine conference a couple of weeks ago, where I learned that MSN is huge in the UK and Yahoo is next to non-existent. But Yahoo's very big in Asia.
