MSN Search will eventually have its own unique database

[Lanre]

Do you know that rather than keep relying on LookSmart, Overture, and Inktomi the new MSN Search will eventually have its own unique database? Now it seems to be preparing a new database built by its own crawler. The new MSNBOT is actively crawling the Web [http://search.msn.com/msnbot.htm]. This is only a prototype crawler and none of its crawling is directly feeding the MSN Search database. However, the FAQ states, ?Although we have not set a date, it is our intention to eventually integrate the crawled contents into MSN Search results? So it looks like MSN Search will eventually have its own unique database.
