Ms. Dewey is a new, humanized search engine from Microsoft. An animated figure, played by actress Janina Gavankar, knocks the screen to remind the user to type a search query. “Hello-oooh, type something here,” she says, impatiently. The only problem with human search engines: they’re human, and they did anything to get ahead, when young. On Ms. Dewey’s search engine, Janina Gavankar shows some geekbait cleavage. In b-flick Cup of My Blood, the actress showed off rather more. Photos after the jump, not safe for work.

Ms. Dewey’s only reason for existing is to get in your way. It’s a Flashturbation nightmare. The first time you go to the site, you waste a lot of time watching her move around and talk because it’s a novel concept. You quickly get bored so you skip the intro. You’re presented with a box where you’re supposed to type your query and click the Search button. The results she presents are nearly unreadable and unusable. There’s not enough contrast between the text and the background and what is incredibly stupid is that it is impossible to scroll through the listings and read them. You can’t get them to scroll slowly. The second time you go back, Ms. Dewey has lost her novelty and becomes more irritating than a telemarketing call at dinner. This concept is really, really awful. Didn’t anybody at Microsoft notice this? Did anybody there actually use the product or did they just sit around congratulating themselves on their cleverness. Obviously, these Microsoftians didn’t see documentary “Spinal Tap” or they would have remembered the classic line, ” It’s such a fine line between stupid, and clever.” Microsoft went over the line. Ms. Dewey sucks.

She has so much make-up on, how can you tell if she is beautiful or not?

The search site featuring the witty Ms. Dewey draws its search results from Windows Live Search, which isn’t too surprising considering that she is part of a Microsoft awareness campaign.

…

After being revealed as Ms. Dewey’s sugar daddy, a Microsoft representative passed along confirmation and the rationale for giving Ms. Dewey a virtual place to live with a great view of a city and plenty of access to Windows Live Search resources:

“This is not an advertising campaign. This really just an experiment for exploring different ways to introduce people to search and Live Search specifically. We are not promoting the site but simply putting it out on the Web for discovery.”
