I would suggest that the reason people don't say "to yahoo
someone" is because Google has been the best free search
engine available for a while now. (indeed, translators use it
as a virtual dictionary to check terms bilingually for prevalence
of usage--no other search engine returns as many hits).

Furthermore, not only do savvy internet users know that Yahoo
functions more as a directory than a search engine per se, but my
impression is that Yahoo is considered so, well, 20th Century!
