The competition is going to take place on the fringes of search (which will in turn become the mainstream; e.g. Video Search) and, more significantly I think who\'s cleverest and bravest in marketing, distribution, partnering and leveraging strengths. It\'s going to be fascinating once Microsoft gets Live Search and adCenter the way they want them and fires the starting pistol for the race really to begin. Google has had it all its own way so far and done an amazing job in a very short time.<br><br>I currently use both Live Search and Google.

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-9656307" class="dsq-comment-message">I figured out that MS Desktop Search works much better for me than Google Desktop Search. Google seems to provide an always changing view on my local files as their index is never up-to-date. Especially when I move mails from my inbox to an archive, I will still get search results pointing to my inbox in Google(which are invalid if I click on them) but not in MS. Google also seems to not care too much about the file metadata, e.g. all the information you can add to an Office document when you save it.<br>On the web I always go to Google ... habit? trust? I do not know how to name it, but if MS would manage to integrate web search into the desktop search, I might not even bother anymore to go to a web page to search. I would just enter the search term and go, no matter who provides the results. Google Desktop Search has this search window that pops up when you press  twice - that is so usable!

The fact that it did a redirect, and then the \'front\' page has much more text and graphics to render, all that conspired to a very slow load time.<br><br>The advantage Google has is not accuracy.
