Microsoft Search Finally Relevant?
Emails have been coming through touting the new capabilities in Live Search and at our division meeting, the VP said internal tests had shown live as relevant, if not more relevant than Google. There were some eyebrows raised at that comment, but he
did say this was the first time Microsoft’s internal tests had found this.
I was skeptical, but decided to start using Live as my default search and so far I have been impressed. I wouldn’t say it is noticeably better than Google, but it sure does the trick and I can honestly say it is as good. I have tried to use different search engines in the past (usually Ask or Yahoo) and found I always ended up going back to Google as some searches in the “other” engines didn’t give me the results I needed. But so far, Live has been giving me what I need - the relevancy is definitely much improved.
