Just done a few searches on Msn's beta and the results from co.uk and .com are completely different even when I don't click on Only from United Kingdom!
Anyone know if they are running 2 different databases?
On co.uk I have 600 pages and on .com I have 4!

It seems as though they include/exclude a lot of sites based on their perceived geo-location. The results are great for uk-based commerce sites on the .co.uk, but for general searching it looks like a lot of the main resource sites are missing.

MSN have said that they plan to take their "near me" function from the US into other countries. Presumably, putting a proper postcode on your pages would help Microsoft's engine figure out that the site is UK based even though it is a .com.
