Guest Paul (MVP) Posted October 6, 2007 Report Posted October 6, 2007 There's no doubt that mobile search is becoming big business. All of the big players have offerings - offerings that are rapidly evolving too. Personally my usage switches between Google and Yahoo, but I thought it would be interesting to provide a straightforward way to do a comparison, as well as a nice easy way to switch the engine in use on your device. So... here's my 'mobile search face-off' ;) Simply enter a search query in the box below, hit 'Search' and results from the various engines will be displayed below! When you've found an engine you like, download the associated CAB to set your PIE home page and 'Windows Live' search box to your choice of search! :wub: I've included Google, Live Search and Yahoo oneSearch for starters, if there's anyone else you'd like to see, let me know!

Guest Confucious Posted October 6, 2007 Report Posted October 6, 2007 It doesn't like searching for more than one word, does it? But great idea, thanks. Interesting to be able to 'try before you buy' type thing.
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted October 6, 2007 Report Posted October 6, 2007 Good spot confucious, should be fixed now! P
Guest Confucious Posted October 6, 2007 Report Posted October 6, 2007 Took you 20 mins to sort. Do you have nothing better to do on a saturday afternoon? ;) Cheers Paul
