Microsoft goes 'LIVE' with their new search site live.com. So I decided to play around with this a bit. I have seen in in action for a while at Microsofts sandbox site where they have some cool and some not-so-cool tools. But the new live.com version has some interesting differences.
- Their is a top scroller (goes left/right) that allows you to determine the verbose-ness of the search results. A PLUS!
- Feeds - You can search as you normally would but only return RSS Feeds. A PLUS!
- All results returned in one window - This has plus and minuses. The plus is I like all the results on one page, the minus is I do not like that its an active-x control that only allows me to use their navigation scroll bar + hotkeys.
Those are the main differences. I also saw no relevancy differences between live.com and search.msn.com.
So go give it a spin and let me know what you think and don't forget to try out the Windows Live Ideas
