In this document, Yahoo! do not speak about Google anymore, they talk about "third-party search engine providers"

Why does Google name has been dropped?

and who are those providerS? I know there is google but what are the others?

Thanks

Overture right now.
Don't be surprised if G's AdWords show up soon.

The plural part has me wondering also...perhaps they are de-branding googles serps to make it posible in the future to introduce other search providers. The third party providers may also include overture who provide the PPC listings on the serps.

If you'll notice in Post #30 by Danny Sullivan, there are still talks going on with Inktomi

This could become more interesting than we could imagine.

Reading between the lines, I guess there is a chance that Yahoo will become a metacrawler.

Could we see a mixture of Google, Inktomi, Fast, Overture and Espotting?

hmmmm...

Or maybe they are cooking up something better. That would be a good idea :) (now to figure what)
