Microsoft Offers A Peek At New Search Engine

ObsessiveMathsFreak writes "The Inquirer is reporting that Microsoft is offering a preview of its new search technology. The search engine preview has a minimalist interface, similar to Google. Microsoft claims over one billion web pages searched, but admits the fact that searching is a little slow. This technology hasn't yet been incorporated into MSN Search, though the site claims it eventually will be. In related news, the Financial Times is reporting that Microsoft are to improve the regular MSN Search site by removing paid advertisements from regular internet searches, a move that will cost them 'tens of millions of dollars.' Are the Search Engine Wars finally upon us?"

Can we get through one topic today without the obligatory Bush bashing comment? I mean, bashing Bush is fine, but for crying out loud. This is getting ridiculous.

I miss the days of the (recent and somewhat non-dead) "In Soviet Russia..." and (not so recent) "KDE sucks because TrollTech..." comments. Damn... I think I'm showing my slashdot age.

[ No. I'm not a Bush support, a republican, or a Neo-Con (whatever the hell that is). ]
