Into the fray

Microsoft has finally entered the search engine fray wholly after re-tooling their MSN site. They’ve adapted a similar interface style as Google with tabs for Web, News, Images and so on.

The notable difference is that like Yahoo, MSN’s home page brings up a lot of other information unlike Google’s home page which starts off with considerably less fanfare and faster.

As a simple test I entered my name in all three search engine to see what the results would be. Google managed to list my homepage as the third primary link, Yahoo did better by listing my homepage first and other relevant pages after. MSN lists my homepage as the second link. Not a bad start.
