Today Live Search has been updated with a new Home Page which shows a background image. This was on trial since last month and many were already getting this. These interactive areas highlight parts of the image and help you explore search results related to the highlighted area. If you have missed to notice these hotspots while loading, just move your mouse cursor over the image to discover them. Its indeed a nice place to start a search as it keeps you engaging

The home page contains a background image, which contains "hotspots," used to show off some of the search queries available at Live Search. The home page background images are suppose to change over time and thus generate different query "hotspots," for the end users to play with

The background homepage image is set to change regularly, and with it, the hotspots that click through to interesting search results. When the page first loads, hotspots "gleam" to the user, and then fade back into the image. A user can check them out by finding them with his or her mouse cursor. Nevertheless, it is an innovative way to get users interested in Live Search. This is only the beginning of new features though, according to the Live Search team, which plans to keep on tweaking the homepage.

Microsoft has launched a new concept for Live Search. Now, when you visit the search engine, you'll see a background image with "hotspots." Hotspots are small boxes that highlight a portion of the image.

Google now gives searchers more notification of behind-the-scenes ways it customizes results. Live Search's home page gets "hotspots" -- will these generate more searches? Search engine relevancy and more.
