New look MSN search....

A bit google-esque?

[trillianjedi]

Big improvement though.

[search.msn.com...]

<Edit>Oh, has it looked like this for while? I've only just seen it. Shows how much interest I really have in MSN</Edit>

LOL Trellian. Don't worry - you are not alone. When the results go live I am sure everyone will be VERY aware. This sleepy little corner of WebmasterWorld is very slowly moving and when it hits the critical mass is going to be a tidal wave...

But for now, we all look occassionally at the sleeping giant, ready for what is to come.

Nice new look. Hopefully they get some decent SERPs to match with it when the time comes ;).

I agree 100%, although first of all, MS have to prove they can wake it up.

I'll be more interested I think when the time comes that I'm launching a new site at a time that MSN search is running and has market share.

That'll be the tidal wave.

I have no doubt that it will come, at some point.

Eeek.

Somebody in Redmond really really really really likes blue.

Hard to look at.

Your screen contrast must be set quite high.

Strange how different colours look on different screens.

[trillianjedi]

Try taking off your sunglasses Martinibuster!

When the results go live

Aren't they live already? msn.com serps are the same as those on search.msn.com are they not?

[zeus]

I see some small changes in serps. on MSN.com

[AmericanBulldog]

Trillian, this one seems to give different results

[techpreview.search.msn.com...]

[zeus]

The new MSN is 100% not live on MSN.com

Speaking strictly for myself, I cannot wait until the new MSN search hits the big time. The web was a much healthier environment in my opinion back when there were a lot of search engines that people would use. However good Google may be, there is WAY TOO MUCH power concentrated in their hands -- they can make or break an online business. So we need more competition, not less, and if it takes the "sleeping giant" to provide more choice for web surfers, then so be it -- we will all be better off for the effort.
