Microsoft’s New In-Development Search Site

Kumo.com is the name of their in-development search site. Microsoft was held constantly third place in search site rankings so this is an effort to climb the ladder to higher positions.

“Kumo appears to set itself apart from today’s Live Search by giving Web surfers clearer clues about the kinds of results that exist. A search for a country music star yields results separated into such categories as Web, songs, lyrics, music and biography. Buttons on the left let users quickly pick just one of those categories to peruse. “

As we can see companies are fully aware of the importance of search market and search engine sites. They are trying focus on individuals’ search targets and preferences for better and precise service.
