When we were thinking about what searches we could improve on for this release, one thing we realized was that we actually were already getting a lot of searches right. A bunch of these were searches about a particular website you wanted. We returned the website, and you went there. Good times.
But you didn’t stay there. We did some research, and it turns out that after you made it to that page, you often tended to go to a few predictable places afterwards. When you searched for CBS you weren’t just hanging out on the homepage, you were going off to check out the page for the Late Show with David Letterman. When you searched for King County you were often going to eventually make your way to their Trip Planner.

In upcoming weeks some of us on the Live Search team will write about the changes we’ve made for this release across the Live Search family — from Web search through News, Video, and Products. As you put Live Search through its paces, let us know how it works for you. We’ll do our best to read all your comments and answer the most common questions.
We’re building more than a search engine.
