AOL searches to be powered by MSN

[BFTUK]

I've heard on the grapevine that AOL searches are soon to be powered by MSN, rather than Google who they currently use mto provide searches to their users.

Personally, i think this is great news, MSN is easier to optimise for and picks up changes alot quicker. There are alot of AOL users who use AOL's software rather than a conventional browser, so fingers crossed we should see an increase in visitors soon.

I can't see that happening to be honest. I though the current situation was that Google were ploughing $1 Billion or so into AOL.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — Google Inc. (GOOG) said Thursday it expects to complete its $1 billion investment in America Online during the second quarter, slightly later than the two popular Web sites originally anticipated.

When the online search engine leader announced its plan to buy a 5 percent stake in AOL three months ago, the two sides predicted the $1 billion would be invested before the end of March. Mountain View, Calif.-based Google now expects to make the investment some time during the three months ending in June, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing.
