Kumo.com – Microsoft’s latest counter to Google

A recent Reuters’ article says that “Microsoft Corp is Internally testing a search service code named Kumo.com
The article also explains that “The new search service was divulged in an internal memo sent by the head of research at the company’s online services division on 2nd March 2009 Monday.”

The Microsoft memo stated that they deem that the new engine will help recover the quality of results thrown back at a user. It also stated that an explorer pane on the left side of results pages will give entrée to tools that will help users with their tasks.

Microsoft’s Nadella reckons the company can put together a better search engine than those currently available. Let’s see how this one pans out for Microsoft. Stay tuned for more addons and updates…
