Does Yahoo's 10-year search deal with Microsoft/Bing restrict Yahoo from working on competing (i.e. not internal) search engines? Is Yahoo developing their own search engine, just waiting to deploy it when the Microsoft/Bing deal expires in 2020? :)

Good questions heh. The Mozilla deal is 5 years right? Plausible that this allows them to push forward in the search avenue without compromising the Bing deal while continuing the work on their own tech. I'm a big believer in Marissa Mayer's strategy so in full support of this Mozilla deal.
