Try out Microsoft's new search engine!

Post by djray »

before it officially launches tomorrow!
http://sandbox.msn.com

it borrows a few things from Google like the cache feature.

i haven't thoroughly tested it yet... but it's not bad!
competition drives innovation (or lack thereof! )... fine lemme change innovation to improvement :wink:

Oh man! Look at the Email Search logo! It's a Google ripoff!

Let's hope they don't end up calling the search engine "Sandboox", just so they can use a similar logo... :D

Well, the results seem to be a little less screwed up than the other MSN search engine, but still not very good.

Well, I have noticed it seems to list a related link only once, and Google does it multiple times. For example, "storm studios" pull up a bunch of results back to Storm! Studios on Google but doesn't on Sandbox. Some other searches didn't behave like I wanted them to, so I'm just going to stick with Google then maybe use Sandbox if I can't find the answers still.

btw... sandbox is not the official name... it's just MSN's home to beta versions...

you'll be able to use it on msn starting tomorrow.

i'm also going to stick with google. familiarity i guess... but the good thing is there are more options now.
