Title: Yahoo Slurp Crawling Again?
Post by: Brad on May 02, 2026, 09:20:18 PM
So this video mentioned Yahoo Slurp is crawling the web and providing Yahoo's search results.  News to me can anyone confirm?

I don't think it's crawling in earnest.

Yahoo does claim it's still alive (https://th.help.yahoo.com/kb/search-app-for-ios/webmaster-tools-yahoo-search-sln2213.html) though.

Thanks LM, that tells me a lot, like the bulk of Y's index still comes from Bing.

It's interesting because Bing does not allow mixing of their search results with other indexes for smaller engines, but Yahoo was able to negotiate an exception.  In any event is is good to see Y crawling again even in a small way.
