Article Yahoo, Bing search crashed because of a bad code update by Microsoft

[Deepu]

Yahoo and Microsoft search engines temporarily went dark on Friday after Microsoft pushed out a bad code update and then struggled to roll it back, a person briefed on the outages told Reuters.

The outages were not caused by an outside attack, the person said, declining to be named because the discussion concerned internal Yahoo matters.

Microsoft's Bing search engine powers Yahoo search under a 10-year deal announced in 2009. Yahoo was not immediately available for comment. Microsoft confirmed the outage, but declined to comment on the cause.

On Friday afternoon, users who typed search.yahoo.com got an error message saying that Yahoo engineers were working to resolve the issue. The search engine appeared to be working again later in the day.

I doubt if anyone used yahoo or Bing search engines.

This didn't become big news ...Maybe because people normally don't use bing and yahoo search engines...Had it been the case with Google search , it would've created havoc

If you are not getting something expected from Google then try other search engins....
We know that Google search can be customized.....

My wallpaper didn't changed on that day on my Lumia. Later on when I read about it in Entertainment Forum feed post them came to know about this glitch.

This is what I was effected. Nothing more.
