they're never going to succeed as a search engine.

They already have succeeded. Yahoo is not a start-up search engine. But, they really should make an effort to update a bit more regularly, in my opinion. I added an RSS feed to my site over a month ago, for example, and it is still not reflected in the serps (with an "Add to My Yahoo" link).
