Microsoft took the covers off the fall release of its Live Search engine on September 26 at its invitation-only Searchification event for press and analysts.

I wasn’t there, but like many, I was briefed and embargoed about what’s new in the fall update. (The embargoes ended at midnight EST.) I’ve posted a few screen shots of some of the new Live Search enhancements users can expect to be rolled out as part of the fall release between now and mid-October.

There weren’t a whole lot of surprises, as a result of an early post and screen shots from a Microsoft Live Search product manager (subsequently removed) that were grabbed by the LiveSide.Net site. But here are my five take-aways about what’s new and what’s coming next from Microsoft in the Live Search arena.
