I did heard from ManagedQ support. I was able to uninstall with ease. They were professional, prompt and efficient. I suggest you give it a try. For anyone that cares.

I"m still waiting for support to tell me how to do it. I like ManagedQ, however, trying to uninstall it from Safari on a Mac proves to difficult.

The traffic details reveal much more.

Just scroll down the list and see at least 20 Google domains in the top 100. Live Search usage is nowhere near Google. The traffic details reveal much more.

However, the problem is that Live has only one search engine for all over the world, and google have at least 20. Individual search engines that act as their own entities.

Anyway James/Derek, you dudes are a bit transparent since nobody talked about ManateQ before you two!

They layer natural language processing and a pretty awesome UI over Google results. This is definitely the right route to take in terms of taking search to the next level. Most other startups try to rebuild the search engine, which is fruitless. I've found them to be more effective than Google for finding what I want. It's nice to see some new technology in search.

I checked out ManagedQ and I was really shocked by the fact that it had real technology. The biggest problem with search is there has been essentially no successful innovation in almost ten years. I welcome the efforts of small guys like ManagedQ to invite change in this stagnant market. Everyone should try ManagedQ for a week. <a href="http://beta1.managedq.com/conversion.php" rel="nofollow">Try it out for a week here. </a> I completely agree with you Boris.
