[Ankur Mittal]

*techtoday.110mb.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/tafiti-thumb.png Microsoft has created a new search engine application based on the combination of Live Search and silverlight technology.Here is what the site reads-
Tafiti, which means “do research” in Swahili, is an experimental search front-end from Microsoft, designed to help people use the Web for research projects that span multiple search queries and sessions by helping visualize, store, and share research results. Tafiti uses both Microsoft Silverlight and Live Search to explore the intersection of richer experiences on the Web and the increasing specialization of search.
