New Beta MSN Search

The boys at MS have finally released their beta version of the much anticipated MSN Search. Built upon their own technology, this new search facility will finally allow MSN to separate itself from rivals Yahoo and Google. Yahoo, owners of the Inktomi search engine database, are the current content providers for the natural search results on MSN Search. Things are about to change....

Check out the beta test site at: http://beta.search.msn.com and see how your website posts. Also check out the new MSN Beta Blog and forum at: http://blogs.msdn.com/msnsearch

It is certainly good to see the competition heating up for relevance and search engine postings. Currently, if your website is not doing very well on the Inktomi database, you are basically out of luck on Yahoo, MSN Search, AllTheWeb and a host of other search engines. On first blush, the new MSN Search appears much more inclusion that Inktomi and that means more pages indexed and better chances that your website will be found.
