    Not sure if this has been mentioned or shown on here, but it looks like MSN is going full steam ahead with there new search.

    New MSN search

    The results are different in some important searches that I have seen.

    Your thoughts....

    There is another thread MSN Search Update discussing the emergent engine.

    I think it's great as I'm sitting at No. 1 for most of my keywords on the UK version. :) Early days, however.

    Hmm..

    I don't mind it myself. I came up with mixed results. Some sites were gone from the results (what I'd expect from an intelligent filter/s), and others seriously improved.

    Unfortunately the ones that weren't there are also earners. Glad this is just a demo :)

    You have got to be kidding! I searched for all of my keywords and I'm at #1 for most of them. A search for "hustler lingerie" brings my site up at #1 - #37, great for me, but if I was using the MSN engine, I would think it was a joke bringing up those kind of results...

    Interesting. On one of my 3 word phrases it returned one (competitor) site as 10 of the 15 results (too much noise IMO) AND it shows some results for people who don't even trade in my town (Grrr) BUT it does use title tags for WTF? graphics which means I can identify what they are in FireFox... off to spend more time on it...
