Yahoo, by and large, sucks at search as much as Live Search. As a matter of fact, it would be fair to say that Yahoo has never really ever taken search as seriously as they did adding tons of crap to their home page for the user to get lost with. Seriously, even in the meta search days, I found myself relying on alternatives such as HotBot or AltaVista as it had less junk on the home page to sift through.

No need to fear, we now see a new CEO eager to bow to whatever pitch Microsoft has for them! This will clearly help Yahoo to take search more seriously and finally catch up with Google…right? Nope.

Yahoo is only interested in sticking with what they know, but then mixing things up a little with new presentation. You know, nothing really compelling or that would give anyone a reason to bother using their search engine at all. I see Yahoo either being bought-out or bankrupt in two years. Call it a hunch.
