Yahoo Rejects Microsoft Search Offer

Yahoo CEO Terry Semel has revealed he recently rebuffed Microsoft"s attempt to bag a stake in the company. Although the Yahoo boss didn"t confirm what form the speculated overtures took, he slapped down the idea Yahoo would be willing to let Microsoft take a stake in the company.

According to a report in the Financial Times, Semel said: "Microsoft taking over Yahoo--that conversation has never come up." He added: "(We discussed) search, and Microsoft co-owning some of our search.
