Those search engines seems to be on some kind of "war" but the main fact remains, even though Google is as simple as possible to show the results, it is still winning, due to most of the users are just used to use it and knows that it is a good search engine.. I am telling this information, based on statistics, for example I get 300 users from google, and only about 25 from yahoo and 12 from msn, but msn search engine is very often indexing my site, much more times then any other engine.. Also, some sites which is offering to view their statistics and it is usually AwStats shows the same thing, that to their site from google came 92 000 users and much much less through others.

nice information

Well Live Search is certainly improving...now with xRank! xRank is something to search the popularity of most searched celebrities on the Internet. You can try it out here: http://www.newlivesearch.com/?section=2 .

It's still in beta, and I think that I would have no use for that at all . Also with the above URL, there are "suggested search queries" that help you find "better results". Works for everyone? I don't think so.

I've never been inclined to use Windows Live Search, or the search engine MSN provides. Since Google is my homepage I simply use it for all my searching needs. However, since you guys seem pleased with the new features found in the newest version of Windows Live I might look into giving that search engine a try. I used to use Mamma Search Engine untill I realized the search results were much too broad, that's when I started using Google. However, on occasion, ussually when I'm researching something I will use Yahoo, I'm not sure why, the results just seem to be a bit more informative.

Wow, this is windows live search is truly a new low for Microsoft.

The UI is horrible - this is just so the live.com team can say they use AJAX without actually implementing it a helpful way.

I can't middle click search results to open them in tabs in firefox.

I can't use the scroll wheel to go from results 1-7 to results 8-14. They seem to jump from 1-7 to 243-249. Huh?

Microsoft thinks it is being clever by putting the scroll bar within the page, but it works worse than a regular browser scroll bar and breaks regular scrolling functionality. This is an incredibly poorly though-out idea.

It is slow, slow, slow. The first page loads slowly, the results load slowly, the results scroll slowly.

Did I say the search results are irrelevent? I guess I did now.
