When first released in 1994, Yahoo Search sent queries to a searchable index of pages supplemented with its directory of websites. Web crawling and data housing was executed by Google from 2000 until 2004, when Yahoo created its own crawler.
In July 2009, Yahoo and Microsoft made a deal in which Bing would generate Yahoo Search results. Google provided some results from 2015 to 2018.
As of August 2025, Yahoo had a search market share in the U.S. of 3.22 percent.
