Microsoft's Live Search
Live Search is the name of Microsoft’s web search engine. Currently, it is the third most used search engine in North America after Google and Yahoo! Originally called MSN Search, Live Search was launched in the fall l of 1998. At first, it used search results provided by Inktomi, a search engine that had been developed by professors a UC Berkley in the mid-1990’s. Inktomi later went bankrupt in the 2000-2001 dot.com bust and was subsequently acquired by Yahoo!
In early 1999, a version of MSN Search was launched which displayed listings from Looksmart (a search advertising network and management solutions company based in San Francisco that provides search advertising products and services to text advertisers, as well as targeted pay-per-click search and contextual advertising) in combination with results from Inktomi except for a short time in 1999 when results from AltaVista’s search engine were used instead. Subsequently however Microsoft upgraded MSN Search to provide its own Microsoft-built search engine results (list of web addresses with samples of content that meet a user’s query), the index of which is updated on a regular basis.
The first beta version of Live Search to be released to the public debuted on March *, 2006, with the final release on September 11, 2006 replacing MSN Search. On March 21, 2007, it was announced that Microsoft would separate its Live Search developments from the Windows Live services family. Live Search was integrated into the Live Search and Ad Platform headed by Satya Nadella, part of Microsoft’s Platform and Systems division. As part of the change, Live Search was consolidated with Microsoft ad Center. As part of the changeover from MSN Search to Live Search, Microsoft also started performing their own image search, using their own internal image search algorithms (this work had previously been outsourced).
Live Search offers users the ability to search for specific types of information using search tabs that include Web, news, images, music, desktop, local and Microsoft Encarta (is a digital multimedia encyclopedia published by Microsoft). A configuration menu is also available to change the default search engine in Internet Explorer.
Features offered by Live Search include the ability to view additional search results on the same web page (instead of needing to click through to subsequent search result pages) and the ability to dynamically adjust the amount of information displayed for each search-result (i.e. just the title, a short summary or a longer summary). It also allows the user to save searches and see them updated automatically on Live.com.
Live Search is not limited to reporting back indexed pages that mach an ordinary search query. When entering a search query using multiple words Live Search will search results trying to match all the keywords. It also has advanced search options entering advance options in the search query.
Since early2009, Microsoft has been internally developing a new search engine that may eventually replace Live Search. This new engine, currently named Kumo, will be different from Google’s search in that results are categorized, however like Google, Kumo will likely sell advertising space in the form of sponsored links displayed with each search.

New to Internet Marketing, but have found a home and will be here for a long time.
is the use of multiple tool-bars recommended ?
i have microsoft live toolbar/ yahoo toolbar/ advanced search toolbar, all installed and in use at the same time. they are on top of each other at the top of my screen. do you think this is overkill ? would it result in conflicts in the usage of my system ? thnx.
Not a professional here but I try to stick with one. Unless you use thoughs toolbars and there services reguarly it would be a good idea to disable or even uninstall them. When IE or whatever browser you use startsup it has to load all the toolbars and then the contents of each, so it could be slowing it down. However I have some friends that like to have many toolbars. I guess it comes down to preferrence.

Google in mood to fight Bing - 'Explore Google Search'
In the middle of all heavy publicity that Microsoft is doing is new search engine with the help of Bing Ads of Television, twitter, facebook and what not, Google has already begun to feel the heat. So Google has now launched 'Explore Google Search'. If you visit the Google homepage today, you will find, beyond the nifty Firebird ballet logo, a link that says "Discovering the web: Explore the world of Google search."The resulting page "Explore Google Search," explains an array of Google's blended search capabilities. It's almost certainly a reminder by Google that it is also a "decision engine" with features to match.
With this new launch, Google has brought out all the existing feature under one roof by the concept of Discovering the Web.The "Explore Google Search" page itself is useful for novices and experts alike. It succinctly explains, with accompanying video, 16 different Google search features. Until now, the way in which things Google has proposed, there was never really a need for Google to market itself to consumers.
But in the current scenario, where Bing on the known properties is not necessarily unique to have Bing, Google seriously need it to show that all that Bing shows already existed Google ResearchTake it however way you want, but we can not escape the fact that intentionally or unintentionally this is the first step of Google to the reengineering of its research vertical products and of course the baby steps of Google for the prevention of its user base Bing further is.
Most Google searchers know of some of these features, but probably didn't know about all of them. It's a smart reminder by Google of what is possible within its search engine.On clicking the Explore Google Search link, you are taken to new page where you can see an array of things which you can do with Google Search, like Finding out a place's weather, time and Local Businesses.
Explore Google Search features some advanced search options, like:-
-

-

And lots more.It has also a section for the engineering of assembly Google and tell Friday to read some stories of the hokeysucces of using Google to research to get things done. Heck, there are even easy to use buttons for the parts of the page.
