Search with Ms. Dewey

SUMMARY: Use Microsoft Live Search with Ms. Dewey, a unique virtual assistant.

Bored with text-based search engines? Nostalgic for the old days where a librarian actually helped you find what you're looking for? Or are you just plain lonely when searching the web?

"Ms. Dewey" is an animated virtual search assistant that talks to you while searching the web with MSN's Live Search. She's not a goody two-shoes, however. Ask Ms. Dewey about photography and she may 'take' a photo of you. Ask about "American Idol" and she may wonder when the reality is about to kick in. Query for politics and she'll give a mock speech.

Sometimes Ms. Dewey will get bored when you don't enter queries fast enough and 'knock' on your computer monitor and ask if anyone is in there, talk on a cell phone, or read a magazine.
