Microsoft is beefing up its MSN search engine to go head-to-head with Google, but at the same time has no immediate plans to cancel its agreement for paid search listings with Overture Services, which was recently bought by MSN rival Yahoo. "MSN Search falls into the category of our (key) businesses," said Lisa Gurry, group product manager for MSN in an interview at Microsoft's headquarters on Friday. "We are working on building our own search engine from scratch."
