Yahoo! Search Providing Support to Wikipedia

Posted by Zonk on from the yahoogle dept.

Jamesday writes "Yahoo! Search will also be providing support for Wikipedia. Discussions, started at the same time as the aforementioned Google announcement, have been ongoing with both Yahoo! and Google but only the Google news leaked. It's now more clear why Wikipedia said there was no need to worry about undue influence from any single sponsor."

    But but...

    Look, it's weird:

    Yahoo! search for asfdhfjewrtwsdfsdfgt
    Google search for asfdhfjewrtwsdfsdfgt

    They're *EXACTLY* the same result pages. If that's not a proof, I don't know what is...

    (By the way, re-read the parent post, it says Yahoo! *used* to use the Google engine. Not anymore...)
