That was certainly part of it, but there was much more to it then that. I know everyone considers Y! Search to be nothing more than Ink, but that really isn't the case. Regardless of whether or not they had market share, AV and ATW both have unique technology (and many patents)that is quite valuable.

Over time, I'm confident we will see that technology integrated into the new Y! Search.
