InfoSpace's WebFetch.com first in Europe to add MSN Search:
"InfoSpace Search & Directory Sign Deal with MSN Search - With addition of MSN Search, WebFetch.com Users Can Efficiently Find More of The Web's Most Relevant Search Results in One Place

Publication Date: 8/11/2005 10:31:48 AM

InfoSpace Search & Directory http://www.infospaceinc.com, a leading Web search and online directory services provider, today announce that search results from MSN Search are now available on its metasearch engine WebFetch http://www.webfetch.com for Europe.

By becoming the first in Europe to combine results from the four leading search engines - MSN, Google, Yahoo! and Ask Jeeves - WebFetch.com gives consumers the most comprehensive view of the web and helps them efficiently retrieve the most relevant results.

Dominic Trigg, Vice President of Search & Directory at InfoSpace Europe explains, 'With continued explosive growth of online search, MSN Search is a terrific addition to our metasearch capability. As the only provider to have relationships with all four of the most popular algorithms, we are able to offer a search solution uniquely designed to provide end users with the most relevant results and support our partners' business agendas.'

Most people believe search results across all four engines are the same, when, in fact, the vast majority of the results from each engine are different. A new study conducted by InfoSpace's Dogpile.com in the US, in conjunction with researchers at the University of Pittsburgh and the Pennsylvania State University evaluated 12,570 random queries run on MSN Search, Google, Yahoo! and Ask Jeeves. It found only 1.1% of first page results were the same across all four engines. The full results of the study can be found at http://CompareSearchEngines.dogpile.com/whitepaper.

Trigg continues, 'InfoSpace's metasearch product allows its private-label partners to deliver a differentiated search experience that their customers can't find at any single engine. By bringing together the top results in one place, InfoSpace's partners are able to deliver top quality results under their own brand and generate superior monetization.'

InfoSpace has built a tool that allows consumers to compare the results of the leading engines for themselves. The new comparison search tool can be found at http://missingpieces.webfetch.com/

InfoSpace's Dogpile.com, which primarily caters for the US search market, added MSN last week."
