Yahoo currently partners with Google, but that deal may not last. "I expect them to dump Google," says Sullivan. "I'm surprised they've stayed with them for so long. Inktomi is perfectly capable of doing what they're using Google to do." (Yahoo, which once sank $10 million into Google, doesn't like to talk about its rival to the press; that's a tangled web.)
