London, April 27, 2005 - Yahoo! Inc. (Nasdaq: YHOO), a leading global Internet company, today introduced the beta release of My Web from Yahoo! Search (available at http://uk.search.yahoo.com). My Web is a "personal search engine" that extends users' existing Yahoo! Search experience by providing a simple way to save, recall and share online information with friends and colleagues. My Web enables users to create their own personal online archive by saving their favourite pages, search results, and search history to My Web. In addition, users can share their information with friends and colleagues via integrated tools such as email, instant messenger, and personal networking provided by Yahoo!'s new Yahoo! 360° tool.

"Yahoo! Search is focused on providing innovative, useful technologies that enable people to find, use, share, and expand knowledge," said Salim Mitha, Director, Yahoo! Search, UK & Ireland. "My Web is the next step in our vision of integrating search, personal search and community by providing users an easy way to have their own personal web search experience that incorporates the best of the Web and what matters most to them."

The new and improved My Web beta leverages the extensive user feedback generated from the successful launch of Yahoo!'s search history product in October 2004, and includes key new features that provide the user with greater control and accessibility for their personal search experience. New features include:
