It literally took ages for the good people at Microsoft to realize the importance of search, and they only came out with their search engine once Google's domination of the search market was complete; their time to respond to this reality being horribly slow.
I had (finally) started using MSN Search for the past few days, ever since I downloaded and installed Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2, as it provided the MSN Search textbox on the top-right side of the window without having to visit a particular webpage to enter the search query. Not any more. Today, as I typed www.google.com.pk in my IE7 web browser, the Google search page had a new addition on the top-right hand corner of the page, prompting me to make Google the search engine in IE. I clicked the "Make Google my search" button and the 13.6 KB download instantly added the Google search option to a web browser that is still in its Beta. Talk about quick response. What's in-store for Web 2.0, I wonder? The good people of Google are swift.
