MSN Testing New Display Of Search Results

It looks like MSN is experimenting with a new search platform. Many of the Live Search features, found after you hit the search button and when you hit the more button, include the integration of blogs into search and a cool feature that is still in beta called Q&A. This gives you the ability to ask and answer questions as part of an online community, similar in style to Yahoo Answers.
The most interesting thing to me though, is that when you hit the more button you have the option to look at “feeds”. This gives you all of the RSS feeds that relate to your search. This is useful if you want to get the most relevant feeds for a particular topic delivered to you in a timely manner. If I had a great interest in receiving information about retail blog marketing or other related topics, I would simply conduct the search on MSN, hit the feeds button and add the most relevant feed to my blog reader. In the case of this particular search, the most relevant feed is from our own retail related blog.
