MSN Search was a
search engine by
Microsoft that comprised a search engine, index, and
web crawler. As of September 12, 2006, MSN Search is now Live Search. This offers users the ability to search for specific types of information using search tabs that include Web, news, images, music, desktop, local, and
Microsoft Encarta. MSN Search aims to make its over 2.5 billion worldwide queries each month "more useful by providing consumers with improved access to information and more precise answers to their questions." A configuration menu is available to change the default search engine in
Internet Explorer, but the selection is sometimes criticized as being limited, and a custom URL cannot be entered without installing an
add-on.
