Quillz Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 They are only doing this because Google is far more popular. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/532100-donate-for-a-good-cause-while-searching-the-web/#findComment-588251245 Share on other sites More sharing options...
*John* Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Live.com is a terrible search engine. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/532100-donate-for-a-good-cause-while-searching-the-web/#findComment-588251251 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I wonder how much they actually give per search. Still, whenever I use live search, it feels cluttered to me and it seems like there are a lot of sponsored results (too many).

ToneKnee Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Ok, I know this could be a lame attempt for people to use the Live search engine, but if it's for a good cause, why not? We can just type random crap into it.

Jexel Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 They are only doing this because Google is far more popular. It's better than spending millions of dollars in advertising when it could have gone in helping people.

Quillz Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 It's better than spending millions of dollars in advertising when it could have gone in helping people. That's true, and I actually am using the Live search engine right now to help raise some funds. I was just pointing out that you'll never see Google doing this.

APH-Alex Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Well I did my part. I searched in the word random with different variations of spelling and suffixes. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/532100-donate-for-a-good-cause-while-searching-the-web/#findComment-588251383 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Code.Red Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I would use Live.com as my main search engine if they just changed their regular web search and made it so that you can just keep scrolling to get more results, instead of clicking to go to the next page. They already do this with their Live image search, and it's great.
