Live search just announced it new update on its own search engine. According to their blog,

# elevance, relevance, relevance. We’ve quadrupled the size of our index, which means we can return the right results for your searches. Improvements like enhanced ranking algorithms, auto-spell correction and better stop word handling help us return the best results.
# Speed. Pages load much faster than before.
# Streamlined look and feel. We focused on the end-to-end experience from the homepage throughout the site. For example, search results are now easier to read thanks to work on typography, contrast, colors and spacing.
# More high-interest content. You asked us for more in Entertainment, Shopping, Health, Local and Video search and we’re happy to deliver it.

Live search team claimed that this is the biggest update they had after their launch date. Well let’s us check if this can drive traffic or additional traffic to my sites.

And still waiting for that webmaster beta tool. I have signed up but not yet saw what it is actually inside it. And when will that webmaster link operator be in place again.
