The recent addition of Powerset features into the Microsoft Live serach results is refreshing and is a step in the right direction in restoring Microsoft’s search brand.
Although Microsoft still drives minimal traffic to sites I monitor, features that Powerset plans to implement into the search results provide significant enhancements and serve as a differntiator between Microsoft and the other leading serach brands.
Combined with their recent search update it’s good to see Microsoft making some nice strides. It appears they’ve eliminated many international results that previously showed up for queries that had no location signals. They also continue to rank subpages of sites that are most relevant to a query instead of consistently using the homepage as the result, something I wish Google would do more of.
