Spotted a post on Tim’s IT Writing<\/a> talking about a BETA UI for live search<\/p>\n

TAFITI<\/a> – meaning “to research” in Swahili<\/p>\n

The interface is done using Silverlight and i’m impresed with how nice it looks<\/p>\n

It allows you to filter your search on the web, feeds, photos,books. There\u00a0is an interesting “tree view”, a “shelf” you can drop items onto to check out later and it easily allows you to search on the returned results<\/p>\n

Tim thing=ks one of it’s shortcomings is that when click a search result it tries to open in a new window and if your pop-up blocker is in the way you get a big message telling you so. I agree with Tim in that it would nice if you could open in a new tab thus keeping the search results visible<\/p>\n

At the moment i can’t see it becoming my default search but it’s nice to see some experimentation. Also MS have come up with a cool project name again (ala, Popfly, Surface, Zune) instead of “Microsoft Search Interface”<\/p>\n

Take a look!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
