Microsoft still hasn't found what it's looking for

Does anyone with a half a brain use anything but Google these days? It can't be healthy to depend on one supplier (see Windows, etc) so even if Microsoft's attempts to storm Google's castle serve only to keep the G-men on their toes, then that's something.

MS took the wraps off the latest version of its search technology this week and its USP has to be its highly customisable search options.

The USP certainly won't be MSN Search's idiosyncratic search results but, hey, this is Microsoft after all, they rarely get anything right first time. Or second.
