MSN Search Update

November 12, 2004 by Michael Boyle

MSN Search Update

I re-checked the search I put the Beta MSN through yesterday and interestingly – expectedly – it included more returns than before – though the total was still just 10% of Google’s number and no more relevent. But I think it’s important to guage how MSN and a couple of the others change over time. I think people have an instinctive feel for Google by now, but a new entrant like MSN Search should be given the opportunity to improve over time, to get up to speed, so to speak. Anyhow – over the weekend I’m going to write up 3 or 4 queries and develop a schedule to see how each responds and compare the results. I’ll include Google, MSN Search Beta, and Yahoo! Search. Any suggestions anyone can offer will be more than welcome.

    Screw ’em. Google works fine. MS already has too much, why hand them Internet search too? I don’t care how cool their underlying technology is, I won’t use IE and I won’t use their search engine. [/rant]
