Report : Yahoo to drop Google
Search engine giant Yahoo plans to drop Google's search technology from its web properties as the two top internet brands square off this year according to US newspaper reports.
Yahoo's moves in recent months have hinted at such a move after some key acquisitions, and after Google's ad revenue increased as it has become a dominant search engine.
According to reports, Google plans to launch an initial public offering, probably with Goldman Sach, Morgan Stanley and CS First Boston having key roles in the deal.
Google has not yet filed to go public and there has not been any comment from prospective investment banks that may be in line to lead the IPO.
