Microsoft to Launch Windows Live Search Engine

September 12th 2006 | Microsoft

Microsoft plans to officially launch on Tuesday its new Windows Live Search engine, a pillar in its strategy to topple market leader Google and wrestle away billions of dollars worth of online advertising.

Windows Live Search will replace MSN Search, Microsoft’s current search engine, in 47 markets worldwide and 23 languages after being available for months in a test version.

"I feel confident that we can gain share," said Derrick Connell, general manager of Microsoft’s Search Business Unit.

Microsoft said it aims to improve the search experience by allowing for refined queries and presenting results on a new user-friendly interface.
