The market (and internet) is buzzing with talk of the Yahoo!-Microsoft search deal. The deals are pretty simple and somewhat more beneficial than the deal which AOL signed with Google a few years back.

But in spite of these advances, something was missing…

After all, why should you have to scour pages and pages of Google results to find out which country is the world’s 5th smallest exporter?
