Re: [Merged] New MSN search engine
Is it the same site as this one?
http://search.msn.com/
Doesn't seem very snappy with results at the moment if it is.

You may have been searching http://beta.search.msn.com/ first, that site is dog slow  The site I linked to is a lot faster but I don't know how good it is. Google has just reported that it has doubled it's page search index to 8bn pages now in response to the competition that now exists in the search engine war.

Re: [Merged] New MSN search engine
rubbish. I tried searching for a couple of things and each time the msn only gave me 1 result for each where as google gave hundreds for each one. I know what I will be sticking with.

Well we all have our favourites The one good thing that will come out of the new competition in browser, search engine and operating systems is that it will wake up certain companies and make them start developing their products again and hopefully the people that gain the most from it will be the end users
