It seems that Amazon’s search page A9 has stopped using Google as their preferred search engine.
They’ve switched to using Live for their search. I can’t find any official announcement for it. Perhaps they just got bored of Google.
It’s certainly a tiny victory for the Live team at Microsoft. There’s always a first step. I use A9 quite often actually. I think Live’s results have been getting considerably better already.

I’m still trying to do better in teh categorization. It’s just screwed up still.

Mr Dew: You are welcome. Yeah the categories need definately improvement
by Nafcom (May 4, 2006 at 4 AM)Yup, I use A9 too. I think Microsoft had some sort of agreement with Amazon and Amazon switched.
