That reads a lot like a statement of admition that Yahoo as a search destination has failed to meet their expectations. It also reinforces the origional Yahoo stratagey of selling ads.

In my oppinion yahoo struggle when it comes to their own search. In the past Yahoo have used results from other providers, notably Google. Before that it was Inktomi.

Yahoo`s struggle to develop their own search platform was possibly one of the reasoons they have taken a tumble in recent years. If they wheren`t investing heavily into search, they could have been more cretive in other areas.

Perhaps the recent Yahoo! - Bing deal will put Yahoo back into perspective.
