    I just posted on another thread, and if you doubt my assertion that live search has become better than google search, it is really apparent on the search term ‘oled laptop’.

    I don’t think that live search has yet surpassed google by a significant margin to displace google, it has gotten significantly better in the last few months.

    Yep #1 you are absolutely right. live search is IMHO superior to Google. It looks better and is more full featured for sure. As for results its about the same as Google. But the UI is far superior to the sparse stale look google has had all thesae years.. I used to use Google all the time but in the last few months I don’t even bother. And the way live search does images blows Google right out of the water. I’m pretty much over Google these days…..

    Cheers!

    #4,

    Thank you for illustrating my point. See how the Microsoft links are much more relevant to the topic? See how much better of a job they do removing false positives?

    What’s Live Search anyway? Is it something like Google except run by Micro$oft?

    I don’t think I’ll be using it. I haven’t used Google for a couple of years because I didn’t like them storing all my searches, along with my IP address, essentially forever. They already have way more information about the inside of my mind than I think is healthy.

    If Live Search is the same thing, I trust Micro$oft a LOT less.
