In a protracted bear market, the search engines that are not making money will have two choices:

1) Merge with each other (LCOS and XCIT)
2) Get bought out at prices much below where they are now by traditional media or sausage casing producers. Zap is probably salivating at these prices.

Thats not to say that YHOO won't merge with another engine or get bought out entirely either since their earnings are middling. When SPO money isn't coming in anymore and earnings aren't forecast until Y2K, if ever, this is becoming more and more of a reality.
