It looks like MSN Search

November 11, 2004 by Michael Boyle

It looks like MSN Search

is on now, so a comparison is possible. I thought I’d compare using a very relevant search using the terms “alberto gonzales” at the senate.gov site. The results from MSN were shocking in their sparseness – it only returned 6 hits. The results from Google turned up 112 hits. Just in case, I used the graphical tuners to make sure MSN wasn’t just presenting me with a subset based on my initial (default) settings, but that didn’t change anything. From where I sit, turning up but 5% of the results is quite a failure for the Microsoft search.

    Howdy!

    Yes, I did a search for “Zeke’s Gallery” (with the quotes, and while there were a bunch of hits, my blog was nowhere to be found.

    I sent ’em a bug report, we’ll see what happens.

    In response to your comment to a posing of Scoble, you can do side-by-side searches of Google and Yahoo Search as well as Google and Teoma Search results at http://www.googleguy.de
