Another search engine portal page.... <yawn>.

Has anyone seen comparisons of the effectiveness of the new search engine?
Is that search engine being used already by anyone else?

Basically, if it's a good search engine people will use it. If not, only people who need the Windows Live tie-ins to the portal will care.
