Microsoft Testing Multiple Searches on One Page

It seems Google isn’t the only one that has decided to redirect a handful of users to test a different approach to web search. Microsoft is redirecting a small number of random users who use Windows Live Search to search.imagine-live.com, a search engine that puts results from a number of Live searches on a single page. When searching for something, the user will be shown the typical results from the web as well as image results, maps results, news results, links to movie listings, weather, and so on. Hitting “view more results” or “explore more” will take the user to the corresponding search engine or web site. The site is obviously still in development as sometimes the search engine spits out an error about not being able to find anything.
