If you append Javaranch to your name, then search.msn will return your Javaranch registration page. Google on the other hand will return your Javaranch registration page, even if you don't append Javaranch to your search.

There's a discussion going on at slashdot, and there are questions being asked, if Micorsoft is actually using Google's search results behind the scene, unofficially, under the table, you know what I mean!

Well, I wouldn't be surprised if M$ did that, but they again, I don't care, because I am don't intent to use MS search anyway!

Not at all. I am still going to primarily use Google. In fact, I am now using Mozilla's Firefox web browser for web surfing. I am tired of all the security problems that have plagued IE.

Of course the slashdotkiddies (r)tm (p)(c) patent pending will stop at nothing to slag Microsoft and will not be afraid to resort to open lies and unfounded allegations in doing so...

The very fact that MSN search returns other results from Gooooooooogle should say enough...

Well, I agree that rumour might have been just that, a rumour, search MSN for 'more evil than satan' (here, it points to Google!
