What is wrong with MSN/Live.com search?
Posted on October 24th, 2007 by admin
A little while back I posted on how MSN/Live.com has improved their search algorithm, but it appears they have in some cases but in others have depreciated.
The below image is a search for “multiz” at MSN/Live.com that should have shown my own site as ranked number one, but as for their new “smart” algorithm that automatically detects your spelling “mistakes” — it believes I’m searching for “multi” as well.
Well, it certainly seems great for the MultiPureCo.com site.

You could always try optimizing your root URL for the word “multiz” rather than ranting at a search engine for not relying on link anchor text.
Michael Martinez, what fun would that be?
On a more serious note, not only would I have to optimize for “multiz” but “multi” as well. “Multi” is a fairly common prefix and would not be that easy to rank high for even if I try using in-site SEO well.
