MSN Search (now Windows Live) – Born in 1998
MSN Search was a service offered as part of Microsoft’s network of web
services. The Microsoft Network debuted as an online service and
Internet service provider in August 1995. During the 1990s, Microsoft
launched Internet Explorer as a bundled part of their operating system
and software products. MSN Search first launched in 1998 displaying
search results from Inktomi and later blending results with Looksmart.
For a short time in 1999, AltaVista search results were used instead of
Inktomi. Since 2004, MSN Search began using its own built-in search
results. Since this time, MSNBot has continually crawled the web.
Today, image search is powered by Picsearch. MSN Search was renamed
Windows Live in 2006.
