Seems atlast Google search found a small competitor in its field. BING the Microsoft's new search engine took a small chunk of Google's share in web search. I have seen a latest research which showed Google occupy 78% while BING is occupying only 7%.
I am happy to see a competetor for Google, coz now they are putting more interest to upgrade fastest engine even faster with AJAX technology. It’s currently testing the feature on its “Caffeine” (thier new search engine) results pages, and some users are starting to see it live on regular Google. Now even BING is also focusing some lite on that technology.

If you want to see how the future search will work, just give a try this page. (Long Zheng, the blogger from istartedsomething, has created this amazing search experience using Bing’s AJAX search APIs.)
This is really great, its just like that !! the same feel n fast you experience while you use Google's Desktop search or Microsoft's Live search.
