Microsoft search… Bing!!! Now with less Suck
Jun 3, 2009 Networking
Microsoft has recently release a new search engine, Bing.com which is a revision to Microsoft Live search released early 200, which in itself was suppose to be a update to MSN search which was more a portal than a true search engine. All of these modification to there search initiatives were made solely to make themselves more marketable and relevant as a Internet presence and to take a bit of market-share from other major Search companies like Google and Yahoo.
For the past 10 years Microsoft has been striving to make this a reality and now I think they may actually have it. With Bing there is no real difference in the presentation of search results in comparison to Live Search, but they have seem to improve the types of results that are given. Below is an example.
I did a test search that I recently found on Digg. I wanted to see if Bing could find content that is usually blocked by other search engines and low and behold this is what I find.
As you can see, when looking for something that should be difficult to find if not search able at all Bing finds it with nopproblem. It’s still not a efficient search because the result that I wanted was on page three but none the less. It is here. So I figure either Microsoft doesn’t know about this issue or they have stopped caring about the exclusivity of there Product Keys. In either case I can do nothing but laugh and inform the public because this method of search will again be revised. Maybe microsoft will come out with a new efficient search in the Fall season and I have a new slogan to go along with it. Microsoft Search, now with less Suck.
