There's a lot more going on in the search space than I had thought. All the talk of desktopsearch tools has covered up some pretty interesting things. The BeyondVC blog has a few interesting tidbits:
Google is using Answers.com to get the definitions that they are slapping at the top of results pages
The MyMSN feeds are apparently powered by Moreover, a name I had nearly forgotten
There's more detail at BeyondVC - and aparently, a lot of search stuff happening that isn't about Google or MS.
