Discover: Explore Microsoft's Kumo Search Engine

The leaked information about the search engine Microsoft is testing spreads over Internet. Initial information shows that Google will have to be very worried about this opponent . The search engine was revealed by a leader of Microsoft Internet search research on Twitter, code-named Kumo (translated in Japanese meaning 'cloud' or 'spider'). Microsoft intends to use Kumo to replace LiveSearch's search engine that is "dying, dying". The basic information and the first images of the search engine were also confirmed through an email from Satya Nadella, the search manager, to his employees. Satya Nadella's email said, Kumo currently only exists on Microsoft's intranet to let its employees try and comment. Kumo's operating mechanism is also quite different from Google. All search results will be grouped and placed in a left-hand panel, on the right hand side with detailed results. Microsoft has not yet confirmed whether to use this name for its search engine when officially launched but some internal sources said, giant software company will listen to suggestions of users to name a new product.

Groups of related information and extensions of keywords are sorted into folder groups in the left panel
