About Me

Cap'n Intrepid is wacky (when he's not serious), and highly intelligent (when he's not dumb) and has an astounding talent of pointing out the painfully obvious.

Microsoft: Start
Microsoft has quietly released what appears to be its next generation search engine. Click on the image below to get to the preview Start.



The no frills interface goes down well with me, as is the handy feed aggregator that pops up when I click on the top left hand logo. Pinning, unpinning and moving around pinned feed previews also works like a breeze and is more intuitive than the service provided by MyYahoo.

Of course, the jury is still out on how well the search engine itself runs. No figures are available yet on search benchmarks, but it seems that threading is not available for results within a domain. It's still a preview though, so I expect more features will come. In the meantime, Start certainly is looking great.

How come a search for "Sex" produces zero results?

It does not! Top of the list:

"The ultimate Adult sex search on the web. Our pay for positioning search engine ensures you get the best of the adult Web. No popups. No consoles. www.sex.com, ..."

Not that it interests me.

Really.
