GoKawiilYahoo replaces Bing-powered search with its own Scout AI engine
Yahoo has rebuilt Yahoo Search to run on Scout, its AI answer engine that had been in beta since January, ending a search arrangement with Microsoft Bing that dated back to August 2010. Eric Feng, senior vice president and general manager of Yahoo Research Group, described it as the biggest update to Yahoo Search in years, and said Scout is also being extended across Yahoo's other products.
