Not quite that easy. Yahoo has numbers, but Google has branding and a sterling reputation for innovation. Google is still known as the clean machine. That <i>idea</i> won't fade easily. As for reality, Google isn't even a good way to search- the best way to really find something has always been to reorder the aggregated results of several different search engines. But that's unsimple.
The word Google is right up there with Kleenex and McDonalds.
Inktomi is not a verb in the vernacular.
