MSN Search Has Arrived

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Tuesday February 1, 2005 @01:29AM from the little-bit-o-competition dept.

strikehosting writes "The new MSN Search, "the first-ever search engine built from the ground up by Microsoft", has been launched worldwide. It will be available in 25 markets and 10 languages. A few features though, like MSN Music and 'Search Near Me', are available only in the United States. Sporting a cleaner look and a simplified layout, MSN Search has a more prominent position on the home page. The features that are available here include tabs that allow consumers to target searches to the Web, news, images, music, desktop or Microsoft Encarta."

Search in both "fonew"

MSN: * Were you looking for fone
Google: Did you mean: phone

so, it does have corrective facilities, but google works better.

Now, the ultimate, searching for "par hiltn"
MSN: * Were you looking for par hilton
Google: Did you mean: paris hilton

Mind you, google does have a special affinity with the woman, so we will let them off.
