MSNBC is now powered by Windows Live Search. When a search is performed on MSNBC, the results are divided into “most recent” and “full search”.

When a news is current, the recent results are displayed in the top section of the first results page. When a topic does not have recent coverage on MSNBC, results from the archive are provided.

MSNBC has used the MSN Search API to retrieve different sets of data for every query. These are assembled when displaying results.

The MSN Search Blog said: “Each query uses a set of pre-defined operators to set the correct domain and allows us to filter the results a bit to return specific types of pages. Adding a few extra SearchTags to all of our pages allows us to do things such as return only stories and filter out category pages from the results.” [Source]

The blog also invites users to give their feedback and suggestions.
