Microsoft Said to Be Unveiling New Search Engine

  “When a competitor reaches the kind of dominance Google has, it’s almost impossible to catch them” Eh, didn't they say that about Lycos, Altavista, and Yahoo? Google is pretty sweet, but internet folk are decently fickle. Show them a better product and they will love you forever...err...until something better comes along.

  Interesting extract: "Microsoft’s new search engine would lump results into categories specific to the query. For example, a search for a product may return photos, manufacturers’ Web pages and reviews, as well as places to purchase the product, according to one of the people. Each category would be included in a menu on the left side of the screen, with related searches and past searches listed in a panel below the category tabs. "

  You know an article is good when Rob Enderle is quoted. It'll be tough to unseat Google, but Microsoft already knows this. I'd love to think that they learned that from Live, which was an excellent search engine that still happened to look and feel exactly like Google and so had few fans, but I won't hold my breath for this thing.
