Sounds like cost saving to me 

Happy

It must cost a lot to store this data. Cutting down to 3 months sounds like a good way to save a few bucks to me.

It's not like Yahoo is exactly flush with money right now.

They've turned cost saving into PR. Clever though, full points for the effort.

Confused ? 

Under EU data retention laws won't your search engine query URL be stored by your ISP for up to two years anyway no matter what Yahoo does ?
