Lycos Releases Classified Ad Search Powered by Oodle

Search Briefs
+ Microsoft Launches Windows Live Search Beta (via SearchDay)
MSN Launches "Live" Search (via News.com)
+ Direct to MSN "Live Search" Demo
The SearchDay article talks about "film strip" view. We've been unable to get this to work. Also, MSN Live Search images don't seem to be working at the present time. More about the "macros" Chris Sherman writes about in SearchDay here.
Note to Microsoft: Your "macro" for finding library sites needs work on several levels. We tried earlier today with IE and got an error. Direct to Search.live.com beta.

+ Amazon under fire on books as Google debate rages
We often wonder if publishers have any idea about the many other book digitization services out there. Also, if they are afraid of Google or Amazon.com, they could just stop sharing content with them. Don't forget, with the in-copyright material Google plans to digitize from five libraries, searchers will only see snippets surrounding their search terms. Example 1. Example 2. Btw, have you checked out Amazon.com's Search Inside the Book lately? From SearchDay, "Mouse over the title of the book on the cover image, and you see quite a bit of additional information about the book, including a concordance of the 100 most frequently used words in the book, citations to the book, statistics about the book (readability, complexity, etc.). You'll also see a search form that lets you run a keyword search limited to that specific title."
