Launch of new MSN beta search engine.

Microsoft has launched it's new search alogrithm as a beta test at beta.search.msn.com and the regular MSN site will continue to use Yahoo results for now. Here's some quotes from an article in the Seattle Times. From the article:

Microsoft's delay in entering the market is not much of a setback, Wilcox said. Google may have an enormous share of the business, but Microsoft controls Windows, the world's largest software distribution platform, he said.

Google is also back with the I'm bigger aspect of this whole search battle.

Google also said yesterday it had nearly doubled the number of Web pages culled by its search engine to 8 billion from 4.2 billion, immediately dashing Microsoft's claim yesterday that its index of 5 billion Web documents was the largest of any Web index in existence.

Even though MSN is coming later to the search party, the other competition is concerned. This beta release is worth taking a look at and seeing what is different from Yahoo or Google for websites that you might be concerned about.
