My first look at A9 search engine.
I kept watching for a better search idea to come along. I kept seeing people talking about A9 and thought to myself "it couldn't be any better than Google, could it?
But, tonight I tried it and found that the new A9 search engine is very interesting. Similar results to Google (on several searches I didn't see much noticeable difference). Google's ads, though, actually make Google better. While the addition of images and other datatypes to A9 make it better for some searches. On a search for "Seattle Hotel" Google also reported that it is looking at almost double the number of pages. Google's "Local results" is better. Google's page layout is better too (more results fit into one screen so a little less scrolling).
Have you tried it yet? What did it do well on? What did it do poorly on? [Scobleizer: Microsoft Geek Blogger]
