Yahoo and Microsoft have just finalized the search deal, which
was announced back in July. The companies have finalized and
executed the definitive Search and Advertising Services and
Sales Agreement and License Agreement in accordance with the
letter agreement announced in July. (Official statement from
both the entities mentioned below)   The companies released the
following joint statement:    As part of the search deal, Bing
will now power Yahoo search. It remains to be seen how much time
it will consume, and what impact will it have once Bing becomes
Yahoo‘s search engine?  With the announcement of this deal, it
would be interesting to keep an eye on Yahoo’s and Microsoft’s
individual shares as Yahoo’s share declined last time the search
deal was announced.
