Windows Live Search to replace MSN Search
Reports today suggest that Windows Live Search will replace MSN Search and power the searches on MSN.com. The site is now live in the UK and US only. You can view the site here : www.live.com
It’s obvious that Windows Live Search is trying to immitate that simplicity that Google brings us. But it’s just not the same….
Features include a scoping bar on the top of the results page keeps information from a previous search so a subsequent search can be executed in the context of the first. The new “related searches” feature on the right side uses an algorithm that uses the queries and results of others who have performed the same search.
Interesting times ahead in the search engine arena!
I just checked it out. Its algorithm seems a bit rubbush tbh. It seems to pay way too much attention to the url names and not enough to content.
