TMCnet.com has an interesting article explaining two new projects Microsoft is working on in relation to MSN Search. The first is something named “Wild Thing” that enables short hand searching. It was first designed for mobile Web searching, to allow users to type short hand, but now if you don’t know how to spell “Schwarzenegger” you can type “ar* sc*w mo*” into the engine and it will try to figure it out. The second is something named “Nocturnal” and this shares bookmarks and Web browsing activity with your MSN Messenger buddies. Nocturnal can also be used to learn your Web behavior and tailor search results specifically for you.
