Fatalism.

Nice - they upgraded it.

Yesterday, it redirected you to searching at Live.com. Which is sloooooow.

Much faster here.

Not entirely minimalistic. If you click in the bar it turns green.

Well, if you're using IE, that is.

EDIT: Whoa... in IE, there's a whole AJAX-y thing goin' on. Wild.

Cool. Is this available as a web service?

The use of AJAX makes me think it is.
Browsing

http://search.live.com/live/search/searchbox.js?v=2
http://search.live.com/live/search/globals.js

yup... bingo.

http://search.live.com/query.aspx?q=foo&source=web&count=17&first=3&mkt=en-us

foo => what you want to search for
17 => how many results you want
3 => first result to show (1-based)

EDIT: above link is "web search"

news search:
http://search.live.com/query.aspx?q=foo&source=news&count=17&first=3&mkt=en-us

feeds search:
http://search.live.com/query.aspx?q=feed%3a+foo&source=web&count=17&first=3&mkt=en-us

Hmm, doesn't seem to work in AOL Explorer. Which is weird as it uses the IE engine. Looks neat in IE.

From my end, it looks like an Atlas / JS mix. I like the feed search; it even has mine indexed!

It may not be AJAX per-se, but it is asynchronous javascript and XML.

Did you just say it may not be AJAX (Asynchronous Javascript and XML) but it is asynchronous javascript and XML?

Oh damn, I used to be first in a search for idunno, and now some upstarts are there. I'd 5th for heavens sake. Behind some blogs.

However in search.msn.co.uk I'm still first.
