Finally, MS Live Search beat out Google in Algebra computation... A small comparison between Live Search & Google... :smile:

I think Live Search can solve upto 3rd degree/order(?) equation only... not sure it should be degree or order.. :))

More info here.

At least now Live search has one reason for why it is better than Google... <Discuss>

Arey ye search engine hai ya calculators!!!

Google is better in what it is supposed to do , that is Search!

well it excels only in algebra. wat about other parameters such as the actual search itself:lol:

^^Those are the kind of things that people normally use..
And google was never meant to solve equations, and if they make an equation solver, Im sure it will be way better than live.

Really Live search is better bocoz it gives
Results for x*x=64
1) vista 32 and 64 bit (download torrent) - TPB

Without any hesitation :-D:-D:-D

^^Lolz.. Yeah i never saw the results below the solution to the equation :D :lol:

All MS has done is incorporate Algebra with Live Search, something which google hasnt done yet. Although this is good, It is not enough to convince me (or many others) to use Live Search and abandon Google
PS I think Google will come up with a similar feature soon :wink:

^^If they notice the feature, they'll come up with something like that soon..only difference is that it will be better than Live equation solver.

Firstly regarding the title: Pun was intended.. I too prefer Google over Live.

Next, I'm not sure if this should be the criterion to compare them but definitely it's a nifty feature in Live which is still missing in Google.. and I'm not blaming that. Or maybe Live finally getting one decent function will convince the google guys to add algebra into their engine.. I'm hoping Google would implement this soon..

Wow! 3 degree equations, you say? Can it solve differential equations too? Then my homework problem is solved!!! :D:D:D

And when it comes to actual searching, Google still pwnz. Google's pages are lighter than Live's, google is faster... and so on.

@ring_wraith:Wrong thread, dude!

Hmmm, the actual way to do the currency conversion is entering the search term as "XXX USD to INR" or "XXX USD to EUR". That search query will bring results from both of the search engines, even from other search engines like Yahoo!

But google provides Ease of use!
