MSN search beta preview - THIS POSTING IS MOVED

**MOVED TO http://msnwatch.blogspot.com**

Microsoft has come out with their search beta preview and there is a variety of opinions I've read about it. MSN has some language about the beta stating:

A few details about this stage of the preview

• There are currently about 1 billion Web pages in the index (this number will grow quickly).

• You may find the site slow at times. You might also notice incomplete or missing features, or results that are inappropriate for your search; if you notice problems, please tell us what went wrong.

I've tried it on some of the terms I'm interested in and found the results to lack conformity. It's all over the board. I don't see the relevancy and I'm concerned that they are considering the product as it is. Of course, this is a preview and could be months away from rollout. Google and Yahoo have nothing to be concerned about so far. I'll be watching the new MSN search daily and recording what I find here. Microsoft search will be an important tool used by many people, so we can't ignore it even if the results are a little off for relevancy.
