THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE — Microsoft Corp., stepping up its efforts to compete with rival Google Inc., will offer consumers a preview of its technology for searching the Internet, beginning Thursday.
Microsoft has long offered a search engine on its MSN Web site, but the technology behind it has been powered by subsidiaries of Yahoo Inc. Earlier this year, the software giant conceded that it had missed the boat by not developing its own search technology, and announced plans to launch its own search engine.
The preview that begins Thursday won’t include hotly awaited technology to let people search their own computer desktops as well as the broader Internet. But the company has promised that desktop search functionality by the end of the year.
Google has already beat Microsoft to the desktop, having launched its desktop search tool in mid-October.
Microsoft declined to comment further on what features will be available in Thursday’s preview.

Google is my friend, Google has always been there when my box error-ed out, Google has always been there when I needed to find some code, Google has been there all along, Microsoft search will never compare.
Maybe it’s about time I release the Googler.
Don’t mess with the Google! If Microsoft is going to try I demand to know if they will have the image search or not! That already makes Google better! Desktop search? Pathetic! Copied off Google. Google sounds and is much more friendly than whatever Microsoft is coming up with. Google even helped me find this site! Now that’s history! Google helps me do my homework, Google helped me find a good website for game cheats, Google found me cool AIM sites. Google makes my day, everyday. Don’t mess with the Google!
-quikYes, Dave, in efforts to keep the MSS (Microsoft Search) out of buisness, I think you should release the Googler. (If you have an About section, be sure to credit me with the icon!) The MSS should be, IMO, a lousy excuse for a search engine. It will be loaded with extra junk like on Yahoo!’s homepage. But Google, on the other hand, has a clean, focused homepage, which I like.
The Googler has been released!
Google is the best search engine there is, and Microsoft will have to accept it wether they like it or not. But if they still want to try competing with it, let them try, that will only prove that Google totally rocks!

Wait until Google release an instant messaging program…that’s of course me hoping they will. That would rock. They already applied a sort of instant messenger in this picture program called Hello. I doubt Microsoft’s search engine will top Google.
