According to a tech report in the USA Today, MSN Search is welcomed competition but just doesn't quite match up to the standards of the other search engines.

Edward Baig gives it just 2.5 stars out of four and picks apart some of its features.

From Edward C. Baig of USA Today:

"I began with the company's own sample queries before entering a few of my own. MSN Search often lived up to the task, but none of its features made me want to beg off my search engine of choice, Google. Results often paled next to Google and Yahoo."

The article concludes with ...

"MSN Search is not flawless, but I welcome Microsoft's push in this area. Added competition moves us closer to where answers are fast, reliable and at our fingertips."
