Yahoo’s search engine is down, after an outage that took down Microsoft’s Bing search engine<\/p>\n

The site began experiencing a disruption at 4:26 p.m ET, according to downdetector.com, a website that monitors service disruptions on major websites. Yahoo Mail, Flickr and other Yahoo services appear to be unaffected.<\/p>\n

Search.yahoo.com currently has a message that “engineers are working quickly to resolve the issue.” A Yahoo spokesperson gave Mashable<\/em> the following statement:<\/p>\n

“We are aware that Yahoo search is unavailable to some users. Our engineers are working to restore the service at the earliest.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The source of the outage is not yet clear, though it appears to be related to earlier problems with Microsoft’s Bing search engine. Bing search reportedly experienced a brief outage earlier Friday afternoon. As of this writing Bing was back online.<\/p>\n

Yahoo’s search engine is powered by Microsoft so it’s likely that problems with Bing would affect Yahoo as well.<\/p>\n

A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed the disruption saying, “some of our customers experienced a brief, isolated services interruption which has now been resolved.” The spokesperson did not say what caused the original problem.<\/p>\n

As with other outages, disgruntled users took to Twitter to voice their complaints.<\/p>\n

The timing of the outage is particularly bad for Mozilla’s Firefox users.<\/p>\n

Mozilla switched its default search engine to Yahoo in November, after a 10-year deal with Google. Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer has focused much of her efforts on improving search since taking over the role as the Sunnyvale-based company’s lead executive.<\/p>\n
