Microsoft to showcase new MSN Search preview
Microsoft is having big problems in the Search Engine Market. Their online search engine stands nowhere on popularity charts and now Google and Yahoo! are going after their desktop searching capabilities. Google has already released their desktop search tool, which has been hailed as exciting product to look out for by the online community. In addition, some other companies like Copernic and Filehand have similar applications ready for users to endorse.
While we wait for Microsoft to come up with their desktop search software, they are releasing an updated version of MSN Search for us on Thursday. It will be a preview release with final slated in the coming months.
Microsoft has offered a search engine since long on their MSN website but they were powered using outsourced technologies. Only recently with Google emerging as a dominant force in the search engine market, they realized what they were missing on.
It would be interesting to see what they can do to attract web users from around the world who now swear by Google and consider it to be the best thing to happen to internet in a long time. Yahoo! with its latest acquisitions and new search services till now has failed to generate any major excitement. And it is left to smaller companies like Vivisimo to generate some buzz in the search engine market, which they did with Clusty.
