Back in October we asked what search engine our members used most. Out of the 139 people that responded, 88.49% said that Google was their main search engine and 0.72% said MSN.
Well now that MSN has had their new search engine out for a few weeks, I thought I'd ask our members if they've tried it, and what they think about it. Maybe you've switched from Google, Yahoo, A9, or something else for MSN Search. Let us know. -------------------- |

Didn't know they had a new search! Just tried it... looks like an attempt at a google clone. Think i'll stick with google
 "MSN it" doesn't quite have the same ring to it as "Google it" .. :msn: ...

I tried it while it was in beta, it just looks like another nVidia vs ATi thing, only between software giants.
And Google is winning  .

I've used many, but I find it's usually how you phrase your search that gives you the best results.

I tried it, not too impressed, it's too buggy (cant just type in a search term then click the "images" button for instance, it makes you type it in again, if they fix the bugs...maybe...
I was hoping for a fresh search engine without all the sites that no longer exist or those ones that just have a gazillion links on them, with absolutely nothing to do with what you searched for but the title of the page is exactly your keywords. -------------------- Left due to those "True" ads.

I'm not a fan of the Windows XP theme either... sticking with Google is more like using the "Classic" theme.
