Microsoft's MSN plans new search engine in July

Going to be interesting to see how yahoo, google, and msn work out in the world of search engines. Will optimizing for one get you optimized for others? I notice on some searches between yahoo and google there are a couple repeats in the top 10 but not many for different searches. Yahoo's search is still new though so as time goes on it will be interesting to see how it works; if the results get closer or further.

Also Yahoo! tracks clicks on the results. Meaning, if you do a search for xyz, and you click on the 10th item then Yahoo! tracks that click. Not sure what they do with the click information but I am assuming they do something.

It will be interesting to see MSN jump in on this as well. The most interesting thing will be if all the results will be similar or not. If they are not similar it will be interesting to see who optimizes for which engine.
