MSN Search Technology Preview -- Round 2

[Sharky]

Check out the "second peek" at:

I heard that they have more than 5B pages in the index this time.

Receptional, LOL

What does this mean?

It means that how you rank in Google isn't part of the MSN algorithm.

Did a quick test,

Google did not return the manufactorer site in the top 20 last time, which is really the only place that has that data, msn gives it number one.

Looks a lot better than the last version, no duplicates, a lot cleaner, but very very slow, is this being forced to run on windows servers?

Has anybody been able to get the cache page links to work? I always get 404 errors.

I can't wait for the new MSN search to get going since my sites are doing incredibly well for my main category keywords. For example:

keyword1 - #2 in 15m results
keyword2 - #1 in 11m results
keyphrase1 - #1 in 11m results
keyphrase2 - #2 in 11m results
etc.

I wish the other search engines will get their acts together and follow suit.

great results here too...

Also, they got the 301 redirect correct. No more bad Yahoo results. Yippeee!
