MSN Messenger To Gain Search

The beta for MSN Messenger 7, due out Monday, will add search capabilities to its client. Yahoo Messenger has offered this
for about a year.

About ten days ago, CitySearch released an IM "bot" that allows you to "interact" with their database using AOL Instant Messenger. You can also search the AOL Yellow Pages this way.

Details on the Microsoft move from InternetNews: MSN Putting Search in IM Beta. Thanks to Search Engine Guide for catching the article.
