Amazon has decided to switch to Microsoft’s Live Search on Sunday after their contract with Google expired.
I haven’t really tried out the new searching there yet, but it seems to be missing the handy Images column option that they had when Google was the search engine source.

"Tennenhouse said the Google search was removed from the site on Sunday, following the expiration of that contract. He would not comment on the terms of the Microsoft deal, or whether a new contract with Google had been an option.

Microsoft’s new search engine and user interface consolidates a variety of the software giant’s Web services such as search, e-mail, instant messaging and security at its Live.com site."
