    its probably not useful or interesting, but i found it slightly wierd... i searched google in msn (well just typed it into IE browser) and this is what i found:

    msn search


    why would ebay motors be ranked above google in its own name??

    is this something to do with msn's seaching system or something?

    i would just like to know :)

    thanks

    I searched too and found Google to be top.

    Ardley216, what you saw was a paid for link. You'll see that the entry for ebay motors has a light gray background and the words "Sponsored site" in smaller text to the right.

    I am surprised that Google has let MSN get away with another company bidding on their name.
