Internet giants Microsoft and Yahoo have reached a deal, giving Microsoft access to Yahoo's search engine.

After months of wrangling and internet speculation, Microsoft Corp. and Yahoo Inc. signed a deal that will allow Microsoft's Bing search engine to use Yahoo's searching capabilities.

The 10-year deal announced Wednesday gives Microsoft access to the Internet's second-largest search engine audience, adding a potentially potent weapon to the software maker's Internet arsenal as it tries to better confront Google, the leader in online search and advertising.
