Live Search

Has anyone tried this search engine: Live Search?

If you have, can you explain its very raison d'ętre? This is being passed along as an alternative to Google, but I'm just not getting it. I'd tell you who's behind it, but you'll probably guess anyway. Yeah, I know I'm biased—I Google everything—but, again, I just don't get this.

Cheers,

Re: Live Search

It seems to be completely sponsored links... maybe some people are into that?  I don't know, seem pretty useless to me.

Re: Live Search

I searched for Melhdau, as in Brad Mehldau, and it gave me this:

I believe in Karma. That means I can do bad things to people all day long and I assume they deserve it.

Re: Live Search

Does it have a German bias, or is it picking-up on the fact I'm connected over my company's WAN?

Re: Live Search

It's not a search engine, it's just a parked website with registrar advertising.

Perhaps you were thinking of this live search?
