Ms Dewey - New Search engine

[Nick F]

Anyone else seen this new search engine powered by Windows Live

http://www.msdewey.com/

You don't get the best results in the world but the way it the lady interacts with you is fantastic.

[Agent]

Not a fan
It just shows me a stupid video of some woman doing somthing which has nothing to do with what im searching for, before finaly giving me the search reults - which as you said, aint that good.

[THCi]

For an example of the feedback:

dewey sez never use pirated software, unless its mapping software. im sure pirates know something about that

Microsoft is suggesting pirating a mapping software? Might just take them up on that, Im sure the Pirate Bay can help me out with that.

There's a surprisingly large database of clips available (searches have multiple possibilities), some of which are quite amusing.

(booze, gmail, firefox, president bush, yo mama, acting, ms dewey, congress, painting, weather, dick cheney, lord of the rings, guns, halo 2, ufos, robot, rap music, MySpace, firefox, matrix, china, russia, queen, photo, ipod, football, baseball .....)

Pretty edgy stuff for MS, but some things aren't for those easily offended.


(yes I spent too much time there )

Searching for "warez" gave me the never use pirated software...

A bit obvious but just pointing it out!

[LWA]

Grr it just broke my Firefox browser....

I got to the loading screen and then it crashed

How quickly do we think she could get irritating?
I typed in porn n the cow flicked a rubber band at me

[ikonia]

totally rubbish.

A flash movie with a search engine built in....wow MS sure are "leading edge"

[g8ina]

How quickly do we think she could get irritating?

12 seconds, even before it had finished loading, that pushing the load bar across with her finger irritated me

The results window scrolls far too fast, and she has THE MOST naggy whiny voice. "Hellooooo .... type something ...... is your dog doing the typing ...."

FFS !

Plonk

[Mama Sumae]

that thing freaks me out every time i see it, how does it actually work?

[DavidM]

Standard text parser scans for words it recognises, and plays videos based on that. Same principle with Ms Dewey as well.

[Dav0s]

lol, its time sensitive, go on it late and she asks why im still up
