Microsoft believes it is just the beginning of the integration with the its new partner in crime Powerset, bringing better Wikipedia clips into Live Search looks like an afterthought from the original promise of the generation next search startup: gunning a true natural linguistic search.
Live Search results with reliable answers I don’t know was that the Powerset needed for, and talking about better Wikipedia results “Actually, Live search results are included as a major portion of Wikipedia, it’s important that the captions are top notch.”
According to The Powerset, they have “plans for deeper integration in the future.” Let’s hope this turnout the way the team expect so, because better Wikipedia search results may not drive me to Live Search as my primary search engine.
Powerset promises that they will change the way we search the web. Let’s see how they keep up the users busy with the promise they made.
Good post. For me, Microsoft needs to do a lot more than merely better integrate Wikipedia into their search engine to compete at full strength with “big brother” Google.
I am interested though in just what Powerset thinks they will do to change the way we search the web, especially since Google Chrome was recently released and is gobbling up market share.
