MyLiveSearch is the worlds first live search engine.{No relation to live.com} Basically what that means is instead of relying on index upon index of "indexed" pages you can use the mylivesearch real time search engine to query not just the 20% of conventional visible web pages, but the rest 80% as well {as stated on their website}. That all depends on how good of a processor you have.
Why I say that is because the main apparatus for running a query with MyLiveSearch is a plugin that you have to download and install in order to begin using the search engine. To some people that is asking a lot, especially if they cannot get a taste of what to expect after downloading it. I should warn you though that in Firefox it doesn't show up as a normal addon that you can just disable. You have to actually look for the file in your main Firefox plugin installation folder to delete it. I suggest the people over at MLS to fix that issue, in order to become more user friendly.
Right, once you install the plugin you can begin using the search engine and your results will be more or less live as it appears now on the web. So instead of looking at the same old web pages that may be highly linked and are forever at the top of search results you get a different set of results possibly each time you do a query. The other thing is, if you bookmark a few sites as starting points it will query them first before jumping onto to other sites from there on.
In theory this sounds great, but the success of MyLiveSearch will be limited in scope until they think of a better solution to perform candid, first timer searches. As stated above, MyLiveSearch says that an estimated 80% of the web is currently not indexed. Which means a lot of data is slipping by your hands.

Do we really need that 80% of the web? Even with just 20% (as stated by MyLiveSearch) of the web we’re currently having, I feel there’s too much information (noise).
I think that having to download that add-on will discourage more than a few potential users. They should definitely fix that.
That download thing will put off so many people. They so need an option that allows people to search before downloading.
