If they don't buy Yahoo, MS may end up in dead heat with Ask!

[night707]

ask.com has currently the best results, Google allows now too much mfa link spam, msn and yahoo results are fully useless. My observation for a globally relevant kw.

Are they rolling in MSN Search with Live.com ?

[phranque]

i wonder if that includes google custom search or if that is only google.com searches or ...?

[sem4u]

I believe that the MSN figure includes searches on live.com as well.

but in China ,baidu reach as much as 70%
