Well I did a few searches on it. Specifically searches that lead me to spam on Google. You know sites that are simply links to other sites but no real information of their own. Usually built on expired domains to get traffic.

On MSN, it actually gave me results. Results I could use and were relevant to my query. Really hope they give Google a run for their money. Maybe Google will fix their algorithm and weed out the garbage if they have more competition. Right now it seems like they don't care what the results are as long as they can match a few ads to the keywords.

As for the interface, there is only so much you can do for a standard search engine. Reminds me very much of the search engines of yesteryear before they all went to portals. Google was just the first to go retro because they didn't have anything else to offer.
