MSN Search

UK Search Engines - MSN Search

MSN Search was started in 1998 by the Microsoft Corporation and was one of the first of Microsofts online services. The first incarnation of MSN search displayed search results using information gathered by Inktomi and later using a combination of results from both Inktomi and Looksmart (a search advertising and management solutions company). Through time it developed and in 2005 Microsoft launched as a search engine displaying its own collected information from its own databases (although image search was still outsourced to a separate company).

MSN Search was later re-branded to join Microsofts "Live" family and from 2006 it is now called Live Search.
