As we reported yesterday, CNN is this weekend re-launching its website as an enhanced multimedia site – packed with web 2.0 features such as recommendations and user generated content. The new site has just gone live – read our full review here.
One noticeable thing about the new site, that we didn’t mention, is that both Google and Yahoo are CNN’s search providers. Check out these screenshots:

The explanation is that Yahoo powers search for CNN’s international version, whereas Google is the global search provider for CNN. At first we thought Google had usurped Yahoo, but it seems that both are still used.
