Microsoft Looks At Other Search Engines

ZuperDee writes "It looks like Microsoft is now looking for another search engine to buy. They are looking at Ask Jeeves and Looksmart, but they recently dumped Looksmart, after deciding that its results don't stack up well. So would anyone be surprised if they bought Ask Jeeves? It can't hurt that according to Netcraft, they already run Microsoft IIS."

But then Netscape started to suck. I used to use Netscape in spite of the pretty IE icon sitting right there, but then I saw that IE was faster and rendered pages better. Now that IE's behind the times, I've switched to Firebird and I'm getting all my friends to as well.
