Microsoft updated its corporate Web search technology this month with in-house software, its latest effort to catch up with innovations in the navigation tools market. In a July 21 article on the software giant's home page, the company owned up to the fact that search was rated the No. 1 source of angst by visitors of its corporate Web site. As a result, the company said it developed an improved product and information search that's faster, more relevant, and "100 percent Microsoft technology."

"Microsoft Search has always run 100 percent on Microsoft technology," a company representative said. "This latest version (Search 3.0) simply takes advantage of the newest, most cutting-edge technology that Microsoft is developing."
