Last month Microsoft released its new MSN search engine - a potential competitor to the Google and Yahoo search engines. The new engine, available at http://beta.search.msn.com is an algorithmic search engine built by Microsoft engineers. This beta version is expected to replace the Yahoo search results currently displayed on MSN in the next few months. Supported by an index of 5 billions pages, some interesting new features have been added to try and differentiate this new search engine from Google and Yahoo! Search. The most noticeable feature in the beta version is the ability to click on a "Near Me" button when searching for a particular word or phrase. By default, your browser's IP address is used to determine your location. Another cool feature is a set of slider tools which allows you to adjust the results by popularity, timeliness and degree of match between your search term and the results. Check it out and see how your Web site is listed. To keep abreast of all the latest search news, Adhost continues to recommend the Search Engine Watch newsletters and Web site - http://searchenginewatch.com. |
