New search engine for Microsoft?
Rumours are swirling that Microsoft will unveil its new search engine at the D: All Things Digital conference next week.
The engine, codenamed Kumo, has been running inside Microsoft for a few months now and comes with a new semantic search algorithm after Redmond's purchase of Powerset in 2008.
Microsoft desperately needs to get back in the search game in order to be taken seriously. With any deal over Yahoo seemingly stalled it is trailing a distant third in the market, with some interesting competition coming up from below.
The Wall Street Journal is predicting a launch next week and it has been a place for Microsoft to leak news before. We shall wait and see.
