Google and MS could push this forwards with what they have now but over the long term I think that search engines specific to each industry need to push themselves. These engines will ensure that general terms are focused towards the appropriate area because that is the specialist area that the specific engine sits within. This is starting to happen in the b2b marketplace, keep an eye on it and see if it grows General search engines are one way to go but I think that in the long term to see true relevancy in the results more of a vertical approach will be required.

In 4 years first time I have read terms like Innovation with Microsoft. Bing is a challenge for Google who has being taking Search Market for granted and I think It will improve the search results quality further in upcoming months. Hats off for Microsoft they kept MSN alive they said time and time again that they will improve and they have done it.

I like Yahoo and Google, but they both have their flaws. Yahoo is too busy, but I like the one click to sports and news. Google is not really a homepage and I never use the tool bar, so it takes more of an effort to go to google to search. I need a search engine somewhere in the middle.
