Microsoft Opens Window On Live Search

The debut of Windows Live Search delivered a couple of new features, more of its advertising service, and possibly better relevance for its organic and paid search results. Microsoft has taken great "panes" in developing the beta of Clicking the Macros link leads to a noted how some of the macros that are on the site now were created and gave examples: Another macro, livesearch.findmusic, searches: ((prefer:music | prefer:album | prefer:song | prefer:lyrics | prefer:mp3 | prefer:cd ) (contains:mp3 | contains:wma)) Or brady.gawkermedia (I believe this was created by Brady Forrest), searches all Gawker blogs: (site:lifehacker.com OR site:gawker.com OR site:wonkette.com OR site:valleywag.com OR site:defamer.com OR site:gizmodo.com OR site:consumerist.com OR site:sploid.com OR site:fleshbot.com OR site:jalopnik.com OR site:screenhead.com OR site:kotaku.com OR site:deadspin.com OR site:gridskipper.com) Users of MSN Search and Windows Live Search tap the same underlying technology currently. Eventually Microsoft will phase out MSN Search in favor of the new product and an updated engine that should improve the relevance of what users see in organic search, and how advertisers' paid search appears based on the keywords they buy for adCenter campaigns.
