What a Search Engine!

Tuesday, November 01, 2005

Microsoft's MSN Search continues to amaze. Many unsuspecting internet users continue to find their way here, to this little corner of the blogosphere, perhaps unprepared for what they find as a result of an innocent and maybe all-too-serious request for information about the soon to be former Chairman of the Federal Reserve.

A simple query for "Greenspan" finds this humble blog at #5 today - behind the the Federal Reserve, Washington Post, Wikipedia, and MSN Money Central, finally overtaking Stanley Greenspan, M.D.


Click to enlarge, then either view full screen or click again to enlarge more - click anywhere the second time when using Firefox, for MS Internet Explorer, wait for the bug-like thingy to show up in the lower right and click on that

A similar Google query yields no links back to this blog within the first 10 pages, but the good news is, as of today, Stanley Greenspan, M.D. is holding steady on the first page at #4.

I really solely on Google, but with this news may have to reconsider. Hah, it's about time Microsoft caught up in search engine technology (like they did with everything else). Now they just have to find a way to put a search bar on the desktop just for them.

Google's gotta be overvalued at $300+... right?

In fact, it looks like Google's BlogSearch puts you at the top of the list...

=v= I think Yahoo! does pretty well. There's a Gahoo!Yoogle search engine that lets you compare 'em side by side.
