No, never. This story is preposterous in the depths it trolls to try to compare Yahoo with Google. Yahoo was a ontologically sorted link graph. Years later, after AltaVista imploded, they picked it up, but to call them a search giant? Ridiculous.

It did. No the 80% but at the end of 1999 yahoo had 56% if the search market while google had <1%. Can't post a prooflink from the phone will do that later
