Search for firefox. Look at the ads (Firefox 2008 wtf?!?!), look at the first result (Silverlight???). Microsoft spends WAY too much time trying to improve the interface and giving stuff a new look without improving functionality. The problem with that is that users have to continually adjust to new interfaces without getting any benefit. I'm sticking with Google.Jyvynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13276899227591796464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-46479585724649745272007-09-27T10:30:00.000-07:002007-09-27T10:30:00.000-07:00I still think google is lighter than live search. ...I still think google is lighter than live search.

That IS more relevant to me than what Google returns for the same query.<BR/><BR/>One can also presume that most people are interested in images of her not in her biography.<BR/><BR/>Fact is, there will always be queries where one engine is perceived to be better than the other and only time will tell if Live Search will be successful but just don't jump to conclusions based on two queries.<BR/><BR/>Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Google seems to occupy your dreams nowadays :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-21379020912118498492007-09-27T08:21:00.000-07:002007-09-27T08:21:00.000-07:00"Live Search is still far behind Google in terms o..."Live Search is still far behind Google in terms of quality."<BR/><BR/>In fact, it's far behind any other decent search engine.

The new Live Search is even worse than the old Live Search for some queries (look at the first two screenshots: the results #3, #4 for [Google Pack] are spam sites; the top result for [Katie Holmes] is a site that only has pictures).<BR/><BR/>This post wasn't a review and I'd love to see a better search engine than Google.
