Interesting food for thought: If Microsoft bought Yahoo Search (a possibility that has been discussed in London's SUNDAY TIMES and here at Webmaster World), what effect would that have on Google's market share? Would the combination of two also-rans do better against Google than two independent also-rans? Or would the death of Yahoo as an independent search engine drive more users to Google?
