Yahoo Brazil, [br.yahoo.com...] , has switched to Inktomi results.

It's not just on the local, either. It won't be long now, with holiday shopping coming up.

Portuguese, would be my guess, for Brazil ;)
<added> looking over the home page, that's all Portuguese, no Spanish to be found</added>

Using the default search you can search in English

They are mixed in, but those certainly are not even mostly Ink results.

These look like true Ink results with a Brazilian influence of some type.

For those that target location based searches the results seem about 95% Ink. e.g. "Kansas Widgets" type searches don't bring up many Brazilian biased results, but just "Widgets" had about 50% Brazilian sites on page 1.....makes sense to me:)

I assume Yahoo were pleased with the Canadian results and decided to try out another major market. I hope we are not going to see Ink results rolled out one country at a time at this pace. I would have liked to have seen the Ink results appear in tandem with their "New Yahoo Search" ad campaign in the US.
