About a year and a few days ago when Yahoo and Microsoft announced a fusion in terms of search engines having the purpose of pulling down Google.

From an update on the blog of Yahoo!, it was broadcasted that starting this week in the United States and Canada, Yahoo! search engine will begin its transition and will begin showing off search results from Bing.

This contract will let Yahoo! revive its search engine by incorporating with it the more popular by Bing. This will also allow the search engine Redmond Giant to fuse with Yahoo! and raise its market share to 30% though about 65% still far controlled by Google. Nevertheless, this can only be made possible not until Bing has been implemented worldwide, which could probably last until 2012.

Only the search results will come from the index of Bing, while the interface, presentation and configuration, will absolutely stay unchanged and with the addition of the phrase "Powered by Bing" at the end of each search result. Apart from that, users can still enjoy Yahoo! tools like  search assistant, site filters, and many others.

In this clash of the search engines, we will see in time if this big fusion will hit a big impact to Google, an enormous contender we all know will never raise its while flag.

Two of the world's biggest search engines in the web, Google and Bing, have launched quite a number of improvements and new interfaces on their respective platforms. These changes not only target individuals for their personal use, but also for businesses and campaign groups to better market and advertise their services online.

One of the biggest innovations to these search engines is the addition of Twitter features on their searches.

Because of the overwhelming success of Twitter in the Internet world (which is rank second to the most popular search engines), Google has incorporated Twitter on its search interface. When doing searches on Google, you will be able to dig down on the Twitter archives as well. This is a clever move for Google in widening its pool of resources because Twitter's real time capability will help in providing a better search on Google.

Bing, on the other hand also incorporated Twitter on its search results. They have created a new feature that lets you search tweets from Twitter users. Bing also displays the hottest trends and topics on Twitter.

The search engines are becoming even more powerful and accurate these days because of these merging into other social networking sites. Well as they say, "two heads are better than one."
