Major Search Engines Diagram

Hi there

I found this diagram.

Most of these engines share their search databases with other search engines

Could someone shed some light on the latest "who shares what" database?

Looks to me like Bruce Clay has not been updated, Yahoo! Search for example.

There is also not a one to one match with Yahoo! Search results, for example at those they power. While they are a major source, there are other influences so I find in most cases a search result will not be exactly the same.

Was there a question behind the question about who powers whom?

Thanks for your input ... there was no question behind the question ... it was just matter of understanding and trying to see the big picture.
