The first question on my mind about MSN’s new search engine is whether it provides an unbiased view of the Internet. Judge for yourself
“java sucks”
Google: 410,000
MSN: 846,373
“.net sucks”
Google: 3,000,000
MSN: 245,041

Google basically ignores the “.” and msn doesn’t.
On Google you are searching for all of the words ‘net’ and ’sucks’ – you aren’t searching for .net
Both .net sucks and net sucks give ‘about 3,080,000′ hits.
On MSN Search, searching for net sucks gives 5,792,129 hits
Searching for .net sucks seems to very effectively narrow the search to pages containing .net – that’s a good thing!
Your reasoning is flawed. It would be one thing if both Google and MSN Search were searching the same number of pages. Most likely they are not. This questionable premise (and what 2 other commenters before me have said) makes your suggestion of bias somewhat far-fetched. We might as well rely on patterns made by clouds to tell us the same things.
