Bing and Yahoo are to announce a merger deal today, which will see Bing used to power Yahoo searches in the future. The deal has been discussed for some time as a new strategy to overtake Google, which presently holds a 63% share of worldwide searches.

The deal should see Yahoo as a new platform to deliver on Microsoft’s new search technology, such as delivering highly-targeted ads, following its currently unsuccessful launch of the Bing brand.
