Microsoft have launched a preview of their new search engine. You can have a go at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://techpreview.search.msn.com/">http://techpreview.search.msn.com/</a><!-- m -->
I've run a few searches on it but will need more time to see quallity. All my important sites are listed. I also have several top 10 listings. For example, my Style Gallery site on the term "photography gallery (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://techpreview.search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=photography+gallery&FORM=SMCRT">http://techpreview.search.msn.com/resul ... FORM=SMCRT</a><!-- m -->)"
I did a search for "web design forum" and "web design forums". Now webdevforum, in google, ranks in the top 10 for both. But it doesn't even show on the 2nd page in MSN search. So clearly MSN have some more work to do.
When using this search, remember it is just a preview. It isn't a full web index. So if your site isn't listed or it's not ranked well or you don't like the quallity of the search then don't worry. Just hit the feedback link and tell them why you didn't find what you were looking for. That way when the final production version comes out - it will work just as you asked for.
