Microsoft definitely payed them alot of money for that, because Google and Yahoo are far more reliable and accurate that Microsoft search, not to mention easier to navigate.

I use Google as well. I can't remember the last time I looked on MSN search for anything. Perhaps Microsoft is looking to monopolize the search industry as well.

I agree. I think Microsoft will aim to take over anything it can.

I've used Microsoft search a few times, by accident, because my IE browser defaults to Microsoft search when I type in an incorrect web address. From what I saw, the pages were very aesthetically unappealing and bland. As well, when I type in the same search criteria in Google, I get more accurate results. As for Yahoo, their search engine has some unique functionality that can help you explore more similar items to what you're looking for, but it is not as accurate as Google.

I have a verizon phone that has internet access. I use the google search engine with my phone. I do not like the msn search engine and will not use it. I have placed a quick link to the google search engine on my home page.
