An excellent find from Gary Price that may give us a glimpse of what the new MSN Search will look like. The interface is chock full of little goodies, of which, the most impressive is a set of slider switches that you can use to manipulate certain "ranking weights".
Gary discovered this interface when he noticed a new URL in the cache link at the Tech Preview site. The URL pointed to http://cc.msnscache.com/.
To access the sliders, click on the label +Search Builder. which will drop-down a tabbed interface. Next, click on Results ranking and you will see the sliders.
Unfortunately, the sliders do not work in Firefox. These may be ActiveX components and will probably only work in Internet Explorer.
I am wondereing what the "cc" sub-domain stands for. Perhaps "carbon copy" or "cache copy"?
