Yahoo announces that it will start anonymizing its search logs after 90 days, a shorter retention period than Google (nine months) and Microsoft (18 months).
In short, this means queries on Yahoo won't be personally identifiable (that is, tied to a user name or ID) after only 90 days, a fact that's sure to please privacy advocates concerned about search companies gleaning insane amounts of user-specific search data. Here's more on how to protect your web searches.
