The Other Search Engines

#1 (permalink)

Rumour has it that Microsoft is creating a new Search Engine to rival Google...whether this will simply been an update to the MSN Search or a whole new breed of engine...I don't know.

There's sketchy information about, but one thing is for sure, a Microsoft Crawler has been seen about the internet in recent days and weeks...does anyone have any information on this subject? I'd be very keen to know anything about this development...

I've seen mentions in a number of places about this (Internet Magazine was the last). No specifics, though. I haven't seen the crawler myself (user-agent is MSNBOT), but I found this:
http://www.msnsearch.com/msnbot.htm

Anyone actually had the crawler visit their site?
