Microsoft and Yahoo join forces in the Internet search business after several twists and turns, and finally by the U.S. Department of Justice and the European Committee for approval. Silicon Valley analyst at Enderle Enderle Group, said sharply: "This agreement will be her second child and the youngest combined into one, creating a 'large second child'."
This time, Microsoft and Yahoo deal in Internet search and online advertising reached a partnership to form a united front challenge to Google, foreign called "micro-Tiger search", referring to Microsoft, and Yahoo's search business and merging (or integration).

When the merger is completed, Yahoo's search engine is currently by Microsoft to provide its search capabilities will be greatly strengthened, and even more powerful; Yahoo will also transfer 400 Microsoft search technology, business, the backbone of Microsoft's market share will be bound to usher in a new leaps and bounds. This news, for Google is undoubtedly increased the pressure of competition. Now, the cooperation has led the industry believe that Yahoo and Microsoft Bing, once successful cooperation in the near future, micro-Tiger can not even take the top spot can not do, it will become the most powerful rival Google, or even may be related to split the search engine world.
