Yahoo started Yahoo BOSS a year ago without much pomp and show, though, within the span of time it has become very popular among developing community, as it provides one with open search API to create a custom search engine of his own employing Yahoo’s algorithms.

According to a recent survey Yahoo BOSS during last May was serving up 30 million search queries a day.   At the rate of 30 million queries per day that reaches upto the level of 900 million queries a Month that has made Yahoo Boss to be fourth largest search engine in the United States with 6 percent share that is just below the percentage share for Bing 9 percent, that is 1.2 billion queries a Month.

As the data for YahooBOSS is for the month of April and other missing month for what data is not available can put it as near as to 1.21 Billion queries for Bing for the Month of July. According to some reports Boss was even bigger than entire Microsoft search.   And to current status Microsoft owns BOSS too after Microsoft and Yahoo deal.  Hopefully, future seems bright for Microsoft in search market.
