Yahoo and MSN have been total disasters in the search engine market when it comes to fighting Google and taking market share from them. They have to hype everything up because at the end of the day, PageRank beat all other primary methods of sorting pages (HITS, SALSA etc). They aren't going to catch Google... they aren't going to revolutionize or change the search marketing or search engine game.
It's just not going to happen.
Merging the two search engines using the same engine simply means creating a larger loser. Not a new winner.
Anyone ever notice that Google is NEVER putting out press releases talking about how they are going to get better at search results?
There is a reason for that... they don't need to and they don't need to convince people they are accurate.
