Yahoo Japan To Use Google Search (And Not Bing) In The Future

7/27/2010

The spectactular search deal Microsoft and Yahoo struck last summer doesn't extend to all country markets.

In Japan, Yahoo search will be powered by Google in the future, as announced [JP] on the Google Japan blog and by Yahoo Japan itself [JP, PDF] earlier today (Yahoo Japan's current search engine is provided by Yahoo in the US).

Yahoo Japan says the date the switch becomes effective has yet to be determinedUnder the agreement, users of the service will be served both paid and algorithmic search results generated by Google technology on the backend (other contents, i.e.

links to Yahoo Japan's Q&A service, will remain in place)Before going for Yahoo Search Technology, Yahoo Japan actually used Google's search engine from April 2001 to May 2004.
