Once a leader in email, online news and search, Yahoo lost ground when Google decided to focus on providing search results based on site importance. Today, the Yahoo search engine runs on the Bing platform and occupies 2.46% of the market.

Launched in April 1994, Yahoo was an incredibly popular search engine and portal in the 1990s. Yahoo search was primarily done by humans until at least June 2000, when a then-unknown search engine called Google began providing regular Yahoo search results. This agreement lasted until 2004, when Yahoo started using its own search technology. Since 2010, Yahoo's organic search results have been based on Microsoft's Bing search engine.

Yahoo was the first popular search engine launched in 1994. It started out as a web directory, but when it got big enough, developers added search capabilities. The company added several features to its product line and Yahoo Search was one of them. But its use has declined since the advent of Google.
