It all depends upon what you search for … Searches for Opera or Firefox returned zilch. A search for Microsoft returned a single result.

Search for nude? Thousands of hits.

Strange too … A search for bloodfetish didn’t return the domain that carries the name, though it picked up another site (Bloodmuse) which mentions Bloodfetish.

All in all, I have to give MSN search a business-as-usual-from-Microsoft: It works as well as any other Microsoft product.

Not really being a fan of Microsofts’ attempts to steal the spotlight I went into the search expecting crap, and thus i received it. No news sources, bad error checking (if nul value is entered), and even though they boast to have indexed 5billion pages … didnt google just reach 8 billion? i know who im going to stick with.

They want to be the standard for everything that involves PCs. Its the ultimate holy grail for any large software company.

Try searching “what is the best search engine?” or “cars” and the results come up quickly … but anything non-standard – even “im” takes forever and then fails

The thought that Microsoft can think of anything original or creative belongs only to the ignorant. I wouldn’t be surprised if Microsoft paid off some bottom-rung employee at Google to steal listings of 5 billion websites, or take some of thier coding and give it a makeover (which borders on the illegal).

I wonder why Microsoft has that need that urge to monopolize the global markets with everything? Aren’t they smart enough to know when to quit?

Tried it this morning with a simple search… after 5 seconds, abandoned the page. Slow, slow, slow.

MSN already down. Must have been infected with a virus. I wonder if they are running this on Windows at all?
