They got Valhalla Legends (http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=valhalla+legends&FORM=QBHP) right, so not doing so bad.
They also got "JavaOp" right, whichs makes me sad because Google still hasn't found it :(
Look at the search prefs. IT LOOKS PRETTY DARNED SIMILAR TO GOOGLE (I mean the thing looks exactly the same with different colors).

Wow, I'm surprised. They're doing a pretty good job.
I've known about this for a while now.
It isn't bad, that's for sure. ;)

Yeah, I meant I knew about it being in beta. :p
I believe that the rumor mill suggests they use similar if not identical algorithims.
(msn vs google)
Compare/contrast for yourselves.

Heh, perhaps a secret Microsoft-owned business bought one and reverse-engineered the Google search machine. ;)
Microsoft used Googles current collection of pages to fill theirs.
A search for "linux" yielded fairly accurate results judging from my unscientific glance, but the auto-generated ads were three links to Microsoft websites bashing it or offering interoperability training with Windows. Interesting :)

I think their search engine is going along pretty well, and I use it now and then. Too bad when you type in a Win32 API function in the search engine it doesn't bring up the MSDN documentation like Google does. I sent them a suggestion to do that but it doesn't seem like they've implemented it yet. ;)
Also, MSN's search engine brough up www.valhallalegends.com as its first findings when you typed in "Valhalla Legends" along time ago.
I notice that "big evil corporation" no longer brings up microsoft.com like it did in the beta :(

MSDN link: 7th hit (overview of some other topic)
Yeah, MSN's search on API functions is terrible for bringing up MSDN documentation.
Searching for DJ ieko (me) is #1 on both engines :P well atleast links related to me..
