# GrabPERF: MSN Search gets snarky

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.
