No, not the preview...
If you go to MSN, there's a 'NEW" MSN Search..
Unless I'm mistaken, MSN is now using their own search, live.
Somebody please clarify if I'm mistaken, though.

BTW, if it is same old Ink results, how do you tell?

oh.
A thousand most humble apologies for the false alarm.
I thought I was so clever, even started a new thread so I'd be a WebmasterWorld hero

Unlucky :)

I saw it on MSN a few days ago too and it threw me for a little while. After a couple of searches though you can see that it is stale old Ink.

BTW, if it is same old Ink results, how do you tell?

You can probably tell because your site is unlikely to be listed or listings are out of date.

Although MSN algo on the techpreview is weak at least it seems fairly upto date.

Well, I decided to see how msn search is doing with a few searches relevant to my own site.

QUESTION:
Is it supposed to be a serious demo or are we supposed to simply marvel at the interface?

Their bot has been all over my site for weeks, but some pages only appear in searches when I type in something very precise. That's ok if the results are relevant and good quality, but they are, in many cases, utter rubbish, although relevancy is perhaps a little better.
