Looks like the folks at MSN Search have decided to block the GrabPERF measurements of the standard search term.

Oh well, doesn’t bother me. I never really considered them a viable contender for any search title. “Too little, too late” is my personal opinion on the MSN Search experience.

Also, it was the slowest of the Big Three.

Average Performance — Oct 1-19, 2005

MEASUREMENT        AVERAGE  NUMBER
---------------  ---------  ------
Google - Search  0.3524125   18891
Yahoo - Search   0.6395253   18849
MSN - Search     0.7182230   18876

Looking forward to see if anyone from MSN notices…or cares.

UPDATE: MSN Search appears to have fixed their problem. the measurement is now re-instated.

Would sure like to know what happened here.
