Microsoft has signaled that it is willing to sweeten its previous offer for a partial buyout of Yahoo's search business, according to one major investor who has been in contact with both parties.

Neither Microsoft nor Yahoo had immediate comment.

After the termination of discussions with Microsoft less than two weeks ago, Yahoo's board said in a statement that a sale leaving the company without an independent search business "would not be in the best interests of Yahoo stockholders."

But the source noted that several of Yahoo's nine board members, including its chairman, Roy Bostock, have since indicated a willingness to hold further discussions with Microsoft on a possible deal to sell the search operations.

Thank you for sharing this information. It has been a while since a get the last update of that news.

Let’s just wait after a few weeks or even months what will happen next between these two big companies. But for me, Yahoo and Microsoft will make a very good tandem!

Thanks for this news. I think Microsoft really want to have Yahoo in order to compete with Google. They want to be more equipped and better search engine merging of Yahoo and Bing.

Thanks for information..

Good. They should be on

I think that it is possible for Microsoft to make an offer of buying the entire Yahoo search technology.
