The Microsoft Research campus showed off a faster way to search the Web and easier ways to share Web links with your friends.
Their latest invention is known as the Wild Thing, a search technology so dubbed because it allows for wildcard searches on MSN by using only a few characters. For example, if you find it difficult to spell the last name of California's actor-turned-governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, entering "ar* sc*w" will find him. An entry of "ar* sc*w mo*" will find films from the former Terminator.
