Where does Yahoo Search get its results?

Yahoo says some of its search results are powered by partners, without naming them[1], and that sites are submitted through Bing Webmaster Tools to be included in the Yahoo Search index[2]. Yahoo still runs its own crawler, Slurp, which follows the robots exclusion standard and supports crawl-delay[1]. Yahoo Japan is a separate engine covered elsewhere.

Engines and providers it names

  • BingNamed only for site submission

    Yahoo names Bing Webmaster Tools for submitting a site, not a results provider[2]

    Conditions recorded: Yahoo names Bing only as the submission channel (Bing Webmaster Tools), never as its results provider

    Words on the source page: “Submit your site via Bing Webmaster Tools.”
