http://techpreview.search.msn.es/ This time it is looking ready to go. I see them releasing this sooner rather than later.

Thanks for the post. Those equalizers are pretty significant. If they feature those, and the settings are persistent, no two people may be looking at the same search results.

Er sorry Mike what do you mean by equalizers, is that like the stablizers I had on my first bike ..

Ok I got now. How many people do you think actually tend to customise their searches in the "real" world?

Not many, but who knows if Microsoft puts those equalizers out on the main interface. They could do it to make searching more fun.

Those results are extremely relevant (aka my client sites are ranked at the top for even the most competitive single-word keywords). I can't wait for this to go live -- the day it hits, Google will be the second most relevant search engine.

Has anyone noticed that MSN preview now looks just like regular MSN/Inktomi?

Not where I am. I am seeing the blank preview page stil not the normal MSN with the blue flash at the top.

The sandbox just has a link back to techpreview.search.msn.com/ which as far as I can see is the same as the preview has always been ie white background and few comments about unveiling the new engine shortly..
