Reportedly this new search engine is based on semantic technology and able to distinguish the relationship between words and sentences.
Have you heard any buzz about the new search engine or is this just more hype about the same old thing?

Microsoft on Tuesday confirmed it is testing a new Internet search engine it hopes will power the US software giant out of distant third place in a market dominated by Google.
A Kumo.com search engine being privately tested by Microsoft workers is reportedly based on semantic technology that enables it to understand sentences and relationships between words.
Current search engines, including software used by Google, rely on matching words typed into search boxes with those found at websites and in data found on the Internet.
"There's a good deal of excitement brewing over this test, both internally and externally, which we're always glad to see," Microsoft Live Search general manager Mike Nichols wrote in an online message.
"Our hope is that our employees will give us great feedback on our new features and that it all becomes part of the external experience soon." FULL STORY
