The Windows Live Academic Search is finally online. They have some unique features compared to Google Scholar (BibTex and EndNote citations, “Sort by” option, abstracts, etc.). I know from an internal mailing list that they are actively tuning the relevance algorithm so the results should be even better. Together with Google Scholar, academics now have good tools to search for published work.
I like it!
One response to ““Windows Live Academic Search” launched”
Well, for me, the difference is that Google Scholar works well in my non-IE browsers, and WLAS works terribly … 🙁
Not that I’m surprised, but it’s a shame. The Bibtex stuff sounds good.
