Yahoo Australia search producer Peter Crowe has revealed that the company had started testing Inktomi's search engine in parallel with projects at a number of the company's regional portals to see if it provides a viable alternative to Google's crawler-based search engine.
Internet portal giant Yahoo! today gave one of its strongest indications yet that it will soon end its reliance on web search technology provider Google.

I'm revving up my PositionTech accounts and heading over to learn more about Ink. I'm going to be there when the switch occurs :)
I still cant believe that they are gonna us inktomi results, they just dont deliver the quality for Yahoo.
Agreed. Yahoo used to use Ink results a while back, and they dropped them for Google. I don't think Ink has changed much since then, except for including a few dynamic pages now...
There have been NO reports of austrailia showing Ink results. I think it is a ruse.
>He didn't say WHEN the change
The Yahoo/Google agreement is up at the end of the year.
The real news here -- once again -- is the slow death of the Yahoo directory as a viable entity.
But I don't see them at [au.yahoo.com...]
Another false alarm.....glad to see the Canadian's have things in perspective :)
