**MSN’s long-awaited search engine is getting closer to launch, and is now offering
previews of its search technology, so you can check how well your charity’s Web 
site will rank.**

While Google still dominates online searching and promotion, there are a few other
search engines that charities and other organisations should pay attention to. MSN,
owned by Microsoft, would certainly be one of these, and might become more important
when it launches its improved search engine.

You can get an idea of what the new MSN search engine will deliver from the company’s
preview version.
