MSN Search updated

[Steve]

If you head over to the MSN Search website you will see that it has been updated. Microsoft said they would be doing this, so it comes as no suprise.

I did a few test searches to see how good the engine was. A search for "google" listed the Google search engine as the first entry. Similarly, a search for "yahoo" produced a first entry result for Yahoo! Finally, "hexus" returned this very website, as you'd expect. This is a promising start, although I doubt that my test regime is really stretching MSN Search a great deal

Microsoft has a list of improvements here.

The MSN Bot has been on a massive info gathering quest recently. MS wants to compete with google... fools.

The damn thing sucked 1GB of my bandwidth last month, not that I care tho.

At the moment when I type random stuff in the address bar of ie it gives me a search from msn.

Is it possible to change it so it gives me results from google??
