Windows Live Search
Microsoft today announced that the beta tag is getting removed from the Windows Live Search site and by the end of the week it will replace most of the MSN Search sites such as http://search.msn.com and http://search.ninemsn.com.au
The ability to focus your search results to either Web, News, RSS Feeds, Images or Videos helps make this a quick and easy search tool. In previous versions of Live Search there was a great deal of AJAX overhead which has now been optimised giving the site a much faster experience which is definitely for the better.
With Windows Live Search you can create your own custom search engine with macros that can be saved or shared with friends or the world. I created a quick and easy search macro that will search all of The Bleeding Edge or DPExpert Blog posts and Forum topics, if you use IE7 or Firefox 2 Beta you can also just add that macro to your search providers box and you now have easy searching for the Bleeding Edge or DPExpert content by clicking the 'Add to browser search box' link. You can find a heap of custom search macros on the Windows Live Macro Gallery.
