Comments on: Why MSN Search is good for the consumer?

Google has become complacent, their index is stale and they are arrogant about dropping pages for no reason.

Yahoo are a bunch of idiots with a useless search database that makes Google’s look fresh, they charge $299.00 for the chance to be reviewed but with NO guarantee of being listed – as a result their results are incomplete.

DMOZ was a great idea but they’ve become arrogant and are also waaaaay behind so another useless search database.

Microsoft certainly would not be my first choice to give these behemoths competition, but somebody’s got to do it. My initial test searches for many new sites that are missing in the three engines mentioned showed a lot of promise, most of them listed and in a logical sequence relative to other already listed and established sites.

lets hear it again…
microsoft have blown it, theyÃ¢ï¿½ï¿½ve proven with decades of predatory practices and butchering standards, that theyÃ¢ï¿½ï¿½re not to be trusted with ANYTHING. The sooner they die the better computing will be for everybody. go,,, Google , Thunderbird , Firefox…..

And one more thing (although there are many in Google favor) in GoogleÃ¢ï¿½ï¿½s Translate Tool I can enter any foreign web site address and it translates everything into English. Also, when I click any link on that translated page it brings the new one which is translated as well and so on. Therefore I can read news form Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany and France even I donÃ¢ï¿½ï¿½t know those languages.

I have tried the new search engine form MSM in many different ways. Once, after the recent boxing fights in the Madison Square Garden to find out who won by entering the boxerÃ¢ï¿½ï¿½s names and guess what: MSN gave me bunch of unrelated results and when I tried Google it got me right into it in first two results. I am staying with Google, Microsoft as usually screams laud but doesnÃ¢ï¿½ï¿½t give any milk.

Hi,
I can’t believe that you people still shouting at anything what Microsoft deoes, you bark at them if they don’t do it, If you bark at them if they try to do it, nowadays it is fashionable to beatup Microsoft ( jelous) .., if it is a good product, and do the job what you want, accept , whether it is google or Microsoft.

I may be biased here… but does anyone in the entire world think Microsoft did a good thing by flooding the market with a then inferior (but bundled) browser? Why would we assume their search engine would be any different? Competition is critical for driving development. Microsoft has continually demonstrated that they will only push development to crush rivals – not because they wish to ensure we have the best products possible. If long term they squeese Google from the market who do we really think the winners will be? Certainly not the user.

the fact is simple and follows by common sense. “WE WANT BETTER SEARCH ENGINE”, so does not matter if it is microsoft or google, only the best will survive competition

I understand you point. I’m sorry I thought you were part of Microsoft. Well, to tell you the truth I’m very biased against Microsoft, so I tend to exaggerate my points, so sorry. When it comes to competition, I agree with you. In the end, it’s better for the consumers.

And the most important thing is that I want a good search engine.

Whether it is from Microsoft or Google or Yahoo… does not matter. A good product is a good product no matter which company makes it.
