Yahoo Search Still Offline After Bing Went Down Earlier Today

yahoo-down

Yahoo’s dedicated search site at http://ift.tt/KLkCYO remains offline at the moment, a couple hours after Bing suffered and recovered from a similar outage.

As I type this, Yahoo’s search service is loading intermittently — but even if the service does load, it can’t execute a search request. In other cases, visitors are getting the “Yahoo will be right back…” message seen above.

Yahoo gets its search results from Bing, which was also down at the same time earlier today, but has since come back online. According to some of the tweets from those who noticed, both Bing and Yahoo were down simultaneously starting around 2:30 pm ET.

Well, this isn't good… @Bing is down. http://ift.tt/1wLk068

Tom Warren of The Verge also noticed that Siri and Microsoft’s Outlook search functions were down. Based on my own testing, Siri is back now and completing web searches like normal.

Microsoft shared a generic statement with TechCrunch:

“This morning Microsoft experienced a brief, isolated services outage which has now been resolved. Our apologies for any inconvenience.”

We’ve asked for additional details about the Bing outage, but that statement is likely what Microsoft will tell us, too. Yahoo’s PR team hasn’t replied to our requests for information.

Postscript: Five minutes after publishing, Yahoo gave us this statement:

“We are aware that Yahoo search is unavailable to users. Our engineers are working to restore the service at the earliest.”
