The European Commission is expected to approve Microsoft and Yahoo’s landmark, 10-year search deal designed to put a stop to Google’s search dominance.

Microsoft and Yahoo’s combined search share would be 28 percent, still less than half of Google’s 65.4 percent, according to the comScore figures for January 2010. Without Yahoo, Bing would take much longer to challenge Google.
