MyLiveSearch beta a flops for mac/firefox users

by Nic Haralambous on 28/08/2007

I registered a while back to test out mylivesearch’s new site and claims that they can whip Google’s ass.

At the first hurdle they have failed, they have dropped the ball and come up with no results…without me even having searched anything.

I received the email this morning and followed the link to register on the site. I entered my email, username, password and all the other data they requested and then this happened:

Are you kidding me? mylivesearch doesn’t support Mac or Firefox? I am currently using both and was when I registered. If this is the case then I truly believe that mylivesearch has somewhat missed the boat.

After all the hype and reading all the previews and talk from the big tech blogs I am really disappointed. Maybe the beta version is closed to Windows users but I can’t think why or maybe developers just haven’t finished their compatibility checks and improvements. Whatever it is I think they need to sort it out soon.

And after all of this they now they have my data and I am sure will be bugging me in the very near future and for a very long time.

    True, there is no mac or firefox for the moment.. But if do get a chance (as i did) to try it under ie, you will see it kicks ass.. But i am a mac user too mostly, so fingers crossed for an early release..

    Ye, but if you are going to make the sort of claims that this search engine have made then surely you have to prepare for this sort of thing.

    I think it’s disappointing. I will definitely try to use it with IE!!
