The NEW MSN Search at long last?

Well, it's about time!!! MSN will be releasing a public beta of their new search engine on Thursday. This one has been so long in coming, including several false alarms, I wonder if anyone even cares anymore. Does anyone really care (besides search marketing geeks) if Microsoft has their own search technology? I doubt it will make much of a difference to most MSN users. Based on the last techpreview site, the results are very comparable to what they're getting from the current Yahoo/Inktomi search results. My sites seem to show up better in the new MSN results, though, so that's a nice bonus.

This article also says Microsoft will have their own version of desktop search ready to release by the end of the year.

Read article on the Seattle Post-Intelligencer (not too many details, yet)
