@quikboy

it is widely accepted, even within the windows live enthusiast community, that windows live toolbar's a load of bollocks

Hmm...maybe I shouldn't have searched for every site I wanted to go to...I think that explains the surge. Well, it could be the "MSN No One Wants to Look Dumb" campaign...I know it's a far-fetch, but I've seen those ads in the most randomest places.

Considering the amount of loud noises from microsoft, about how they will overtake google by this time next year, and the money they have thrown, and are about to with the acquisition of yahoo, I'm surprised they have achieved so little.

I'm kinda shocked Google's rise has finally fallen. Even a little means something.

@Mephiles : So agree. It's crazy why anyone actually uses AOL search. It's essentially coming from Google search.

@oli.burgess : If it's not too much of a problem, Live Toolbar does what Y! essentially does. Live Toolbar has a history of your past searches, as well as suggest searches showing up as you type. It's nifty and has been there before Y! came with Search Assist. There's also search add-ons, and Flickr is one of them. So if I want Flickr results, I just type in the toolbar and press the Flickr button. Amazing, isn't it?

Don't get too excited though. I'm still using Yahoo! Search simply because of the suggestions and that its image search incorporates Flickr. I'm wondering if the YHOO-MSFT deal goes through, whether they'll incorporate search assist into Rome search.

I'm surprised people use AOL! Everything madeby AOL is bad.

Nice, I use live search most of the time and live image search is the best.
