Microsoft introduces new search engine

No pagination, you can go to all results through scrolling

 

nice feature you can choose to only display the title, or also the description with it. And choose 'search within this site'

 

anyone else notice in your web logs that live.com doesn't tell you the query used to find you?

 

It's actually not bad at all, and I like the scrolling and the general "look" of it. Plus, they already have about half the content of a site I launched just 2 days ago in their Index! Google has the front page, but not the content. The only downside is the rest of the main search page; MSN should stop trying to push their other junk on people who just wants to do searches.

 

Yeah ... and in the right hands, this name could become so much. I honestly don't believe msn will trump anything with quality. They show no sign of it. Something I've written about on thirdsquare.

 

well it helps to be on top for my keywords but with little traffic so what?

Traffic MS give us Traffic!

 

I would have to agree with you on this. I used the beta version and was not impressed, but I am going to watch and see how it progresses. MSN might surprise us and that would be great, but as said before they have been stating that they are going to be the best soon and that is a long time in coming so far.

 

They need a new way to go about the search definetly to pull users from Google. Perhaps some intertwining with Vista might be a good way to go.

 

I pretty like it . I definately see future in this type of websites (AJAX , content that changes on the fly). No clicking on next,next,next button = saves time! .

 

lol just had to do this.

Mine gave me the blue screen of death. lmao

kidding, but it does look okay, takes a while to load and return results but. Or is it just me?

is this a new version of msn.com, with the same database content!?

 

It was getting Slashdotted and Dugg and every other blogg'ed all at the same time this morning and it was dropping in and out of service. The image seach was unusable and you'd get not responding errors frequently. It seems more Alpha than Beta for a major player's web portal.

 

I got a referral and it had a query string ... looked like this:

http://www.live.com/?q=keyword

 

there seems to be an error on the page. where it just keeps saying "loading..." in swf.

look i know its beta

 

i actually found the search icon. the little maginfying glass on the sid eof the search bar..

 

loop of loading... and nothing is loading

 

Live circa 1998: http://web.archive.org/web/19980211191652/http://www.live.com/

It stayed that way up until April Fool's Day 2005

 

wow what happened to them?

 

They seemed too proud of their "MBone" and no one took them seriously.

 

Yeah, and the same fate awaits the new Live Search
