Porp Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Link to MSN Search Beta I find that I like MSN Search way better than Google now.. Especially with the slick blue colours, and the image search with the options for Black & White, or Colour and more features than Google with the search part like Popularity Bars and everything.. What is your opinion on it? Link to MSN Search Beta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kupo-Cheer Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Its definitely running smoother than this morning when I tried it. I dunno though, I'm just not sold on it. I still like google for everything, mostly because I've been using it for so long and its really fast I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think for MSN Search to win they will need to use MSNSearch.com or something very easy for people to quickly type in.. I love the ability to move the bar to Updated Pages or Static (Dead) pages.

thechitowncubs Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 I dont like it... the results in google are much more accurate and better organized... but the front page is slick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argi Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 The blue is nice but it's designed for IE so looks like i wont be using it. A bit too much blue too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit too much blue too. 584905566[/snapback] Which part is designed for IE? Please show a screenshot because it looks exactly the same in both Firefox and IE.

Porp Posted November 12, 2004 Author Share Posted November 12, 2004 Just to add, go here ----> http://beta.search.msn.com/docs/help.aspx?...Information.htm and look under the part where it says "Finding what you want" it says "Web, News, Images, Desktop".. And it says to search your computer you need the MSN Search Suite.. I can't wait for MSN Search Desktop to roll out cause the Google Desktop one doesnt work for me at all and only searches AIM Chat Logs and I bet highly that the MSN Search one will search MSN Messenger.. Great Work MSN, Keep It Up! =) **EDIT: Toolbar.msn.com LOOKS ALOT different!!! NICE*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forum Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 The results are just too unorganized and harder to ready. I am a bit picky but when theres another alternative like Google, which I think is better, I'll choose Google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it looks slick... Quick URL --> MSNSearch.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamthief Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 it looks just like Google with a redesign. That's originality for you. As for interface, nice!! For search results, i still think google is ahead here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ootput Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Readability can be fixed with Proxomitron (or similar proxies.) For example, with Google: I'll try to code a few filters later tonight for msn (if possible) when I get the chance. Considering it's still beta, I can't really comment on the accuracy of the results. The load-time _is_ impressive, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LogicalApex MVC Posted November 12, 2004 MVC Share Posted November 12, 2004 I agree I'm very impressed with the MSN Beta search. The search builder feature is very nice... If it gets a bit more accurate by final release i may switch over from google... Well it seems MS is taking search seriously... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
