Microsoft is readying multiple new search releases — the first of which is coming this fall — that it will launch over the next 12 months.

The fall search update will include improvements to the search core, relevance and performance and mobile capabilities as well as new vertical search experiences, Kevin Johnson, the President of Microsoft’s Platforms and Services division, told attendees of Microsoft’s Financial Analyst Meeting (FAM) conference.

Search isn’t the only Live rollout coming. Johnson said Microsoft is preparing a full Windows Live 2.0 update for launch this fall. The 2.0 update will be a single suite of user services available as a single download that will work on the PC, phone and browser, Johnson said.
