No, not Microsoft’s Live… My Live Search proposes to be real-time “live” (as in right now) web search.

From the article:
MyLiveSearch is fundamentally different. It works through a small browser plug-in. The search terms are put through Google, or other indexed search databases, but those results are treated as “starting points” alongside the user’s bookmarks and other popular web hubs.
From there, the live search takes over, crawling through hundreds of web pages connected to those starting points in search of more information relevant to the search.
Mr Gabriel says the results come back in seconds, and are almost always richer, more detailed and more useful than a standard, index-based search. His product can also search the so-called “invisible web” of dynamically-generated web pages that search engines have trouble indexing.
So, it does rely on, or piggy-back on, some results from traditional index-based search engines… and then goes on from there to search the web “now.”
I’m intrigued. I don’t see this toppling Google, though; from the hints in the article, I would more expect this to be bought by Google, or some other large search engine.
