Inspecting MSN Search
ins0maniac writes "I compared Yahoo, Google and MSN's image search. I noticed that, MSN's search had images from only a few sites. I searched for keywords britney spears and randomly checked few pages upto page number 20 and found that the 400 images were only from 3 domains :| 5in9.com, celebritypicturesarchive.com and nabou.com. This is totally weird as it doesn't seem like a search engine, but a collection of few online galleries." There's a number of other interesting notes in the entry about the new search engine. Also, Britney.
I already have all 400 of those.
... that's why I love science. You can find the best reasons to do the weirdest things ... ;-)
I searched for "britney spears nude goat dildo sparcstation" and didn't find a single thing.
I'm going to have to perform this experiment myself.
In the interest of the truth, you know.
Watch the Teaser Trailer for "The Lightning Thief" Her
But what does "Also Britney" mean ?
It means that Rob's little head is less articulate than his big one.
Yeah, but how do you turn off the damn safe search in MSN... :-)
For research, I checked out some of those pictures returned by the Britney search.
Many of the thumbnails displayed aren't the same picture that's retrieved when you click on the link. So, their cache must be outdated already. When I'm browsing thumbnails, I expect...no I demand...my search engine to return the appropriate photos!
-Barkeep, a draft of your most hazardous brew, for the world is slowly stepping into focus, and I don't like what I see.
"Also, Britney" is an indirect reference to the amusement one feels due to the relevance of Britney Spears in this story. It also serves as a masculine form of code-speech in the form of silence, the silent element which follows "Also, Britney" best interpreted as "You know what I mean? She's hot, right?"
I think I'll stop here.
Britney? Come on, she's so last season, did you even see the Google.com zeitgeist? It's all about runner up Paris Hilton this year. lol.

I'm sorry, but this is where I draw the line-- it's completely unusable
what about "natalie portman naked petrified hot grits"?
Would you rather the author did an image search on RMS?
My beliefs do not require that you agree with them.
Searching for 'bill gates' in MSN returns the page Bill Gates As Mabus. Apparently this project is dedicated to finding the human manifestation of the anti-Christ.
None of the first 10 results (searching from the uk) return his homepage.
Searching with Google turns up Bill Gates' Web Site - Home Page.
Which means: Stick to Google.

while the first few result are still remotely related to what I expected (sex offender registries, sex - by teens for teens), the ninth link is cool:
Microsoft Corporation
The entry page to Microsoft's Web site. Find software, solutions, answers, support, and Microsoft
* www.microsoft.net
I'm amazed how stupid and desperate these guys there must be.
Just did a quick comparison of search.msn.com, google.com and www.yahoo.com. Here are my results:
Search term: microsoft sucks
Google: results about 862,000
Yahoo: results about 762,000
MSN: results about 1,856,364
There's a joke in there somewhere dying to get out.

Reminds me of a joke.
A scientist is conducting experiments on cockroach behavior. First day he cuts off one leg of a cockroaach and shouts walk. The cockroach is able to walk limpily. Second day he cuts off the second leg and shouts walk. The cockroach is still able to move around. Third day he cuts off his third leg and shouts walk. The cockroach tries hard to move and is able to do that. Fourth day he cuts off his last leg and shouts walk and obviously cockroach is unable to move. The conclusion: When you cut all the four legs of a cockroach the cockroad goes deaf!!!
I only need one search engine! www.sexloupe.com
