Quote: Yahoo! gives up quest for search dominance

"We don't think it's reasonable to assume we're going to gain a lot of share from Google," Chief Financial Officer Susan Decker said in an interview. "It's not our goal to be No. 1 in Internet search. We would be very happy to maintain our market share."

Quote: Yahoo reaffirms commitment to search

Yahoo is still very much committed to search, the company said in response to a media report claiming that the company had conceded the search battle to Google.

After reading the first article I was pretty upset at Yahoo for deciding that they would just try to maintain market share. The strategy of maintaing is a guaranteed way to lose market share in my opinion. I'm glad they said that they were committed to search.
