Microsoft will introduce a search engine better than Google in six months in the United States and Britain followed by Europe according to Neil Holloway, Microsoft president for Europe, Middle East and Africa.

Microsoft will also integrate the new "better" search engine into Windows Messenger and Hotmail but not in Windows Vista.

Microsoft's goal is not just its initial offering but would go beyond finding URLs and instead focus in on the specific information sought by Internet users.

For example, he said, potential home-buyers might find a group of houses in the price range and with the precise amenities they are seeking.

Or a surfer might find a restaurant with the kind of menu a diner wants in a particular geographic area.
