Search Engine

[Martin Racette]

Hi,

I just install IE8 on my laptop, and when it came time to set-up the search
engine, I told it to use my current set-up, but I just lost the Live Search,
and everytime that I try to install it back I get a weird website called
BING, which feels like the Live Search site has somehow being hacked.

Is there a way to get back the Live Search

 

[Dusko Savatovic]

Bing is Microsoft's new search service. It replaced Live Search.

 

[Martin Racette]

Why did tehy replace something that was work perfectly well

And now we have to learn a new crapy website that probably does not even
work 90% of the time, and could not find even a comma in a sentence

Posts here and elsewhere have informed me that Bing is (roughly speaking)
Microsoft's replacement for Google

I suggest you go to Microsoft's site and search for Bing. I plan to do the
same someday, just not right now

Many right now are giving Bing rave reviews. I like it MUCH better than Live
Search. I have not used google in 2 weeks now.

 

[Martin Racette]

But I still can not configure IE8 to use Live Search which I know and trust
instead of something that has the name of sound, and is probably not worth
it at all

I would like to know how to go to Live Search, because everytime that I type
http://search.live.com I end up at BONG and the adress in the the bar says
that I am not where I want to be, I am ending up at www.bong.com

So I have to beleive that http://search.live.com as being hacked somehow by
hacker(s), and are probably trying to steal personal information

 

[Richard Urban]

Understand this - LIVE SEARCH IS **NO MORE** **GONE** **KAPUT**

Which part of "LIVE SEARCH IS DEAD" don't you understand?

We already know you're an idiot. Why you must insist on proving it
boggles the mind. Bing is not an international search but guesses what
you want based on your IP location. It will suffer the same fate that
Dead Search and MSN search met.

If it is dead, why then on my other computer, in the list of search engine
it is still there, it is only on the laptop since I installed IE8 that I can
no longer access Live Search, and that I am being hacked to BONG

Quite an algorithm they have at Bing: I searched for "Vista bug" and
got an advert for Orkin.

The morons run rampant in this group!
Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a *real* hacking by walking up a
densely populated dark alley, telling everyone you see just how rich you
are.

 

[Richard Urban]

<grin> No you didn't! But nice try.

LOL. Like my daughter said to me "your wisdom declines with age "

Live search is no more! It is an ex-search engine! That search engine
has shuffled off this mortal coil! It is pining for the Fjords!

Get the picture?

Really?

Yes, really.

You've got a crystal ball that accurately shows the future of
software?

You've got some money you want to bet on it?

As you can see, because Orkin doesn't exist in Spain, no Orkin result.

I see no advertisements at all. I don't know what you are seeing. And there
is nothing on the 1st page (I didn't go any further) that mentions Orkin at
all.

All those sponsored sites couldn't possibly be adds, now could they?
