Yahoo isn't a search engine and hasn't been for years. Just check the "Powered by Bing™" at the bottom of every search result. That leaves just two search engines, Google and Bing. Not counting non-US search engines that may have significant market share in their respective countries.

In the years before the acquisition by Verizon, while Marissa Mayer was still CEO, Yahoo had rebooted its own search engine, an effort that was abandoned shortly before the sale. At that time, Apple could have very well acquired a formidable search engine if they wanted to.

Nothing coming out of Yahoo has been “formidable” in over two decades.
