Yahoo Japan to make use of Google search engine

YahooYahoo Japan, one of the much known names of the nation, has pronounced that it will be using Google's search engine to support its search instead of using the Bing for its search purpose.

It was further added that joining hands with Google would mean that the association will regulate almost 100 percent of the search market of the world's second largest economy.

Earlier Yahoo took support of Microsoft soon after U. S. watchdogs had refused to opt for a deal with Google under anti-monopoly laws. However, currently Yahoo Inc. has approximately 30 percent of Yahoo stakes in Japan.

Meanwhile Yahoo Japan will also be powered with Google's search-linked advertisement delivery system and at the same time be supplying the data to more of Google based sites, reports Reuters.

Masahiro Inoue, Yahoo Japan President said that they have pondered upon the matters thoroughly into both of Microsoft's and Google's search technology and it was concluded that the Microsoft's "not strong" enough for search based capabilities.
