They are using Google at the moment, Londoner, but will be changing over to Yahoo soon. See this, a copy of the recent email members received over the last few days:



New Website launch and partnership with YAHOO!

Dear Mysearch Funds user

We are contacting you to announce some really great news! Mysearch Funds is becoming Homepages Friends, as the first stage in a process to bring you new and exciting ways of making money on the internet, from more of the things you do everyday.

Over the next few days you will see the change to our new design and to the Homepages Friends name, and then over the next few weeks you’ll see some great additions to the service you already have – but first you will need to become a member of Homepages Friends. Don’t worry, all this will happen automatically and you don’t need to do anything at all - you will still be able to earn in exactly the same way from searching online, except that the search results will come from a new provider...

We are therefore very pleased to be able to announce that the biggest online host in the world - YAHOO! – has agreed to become our sole search feed provider.

You do not need to do anything to make this change, we will make it automatically over the next few days. Initially this won’t make any difference to the way your revenue accumulates, but we believe that working with a brand of this size and quality can only have a positive influence.

YAHOO! invented the paid search marketplace in 1998 and since then, has continued to drive the category as the market leader and innovator. Their range of products is extensive and we hope that through them and other new partners new content such as shopping channels, email, blogging and much more will now be provided through our new site Homepages Friends in the not too distant future.

We believe this is an exciting move forward for us and all our members and that the benefits to you will consolidate our position as an energetic revenue-generating online provider.

Oh, and your little search box should show a blue magnifying glass symbol, not Google. I found that mine kept going back to Google at first until I'd closed down and reopened Firefox the next day. Now I have the blue MySearchFunds symbol there all the time.

Of course even while its google you make money but you do have to click on the paid for results at the top side and bottom of the results page. Works the same as custom search boxes do in adsense, which is probably where they get the search from.

I agree. I wonder if we can somehow fill the gap in Google that MSF has left...

Someone in this thread, or the on on the referrals board said "This site seriously needs some competition". I think it is probably the truest word ever said about MSF.
