What's the point of the search engine at sitefinder.verisign.com (which appears to be down) without the wildcard A record directing stuff to it?they could try to get some legitimate traffic as , say, google or yahoo do by providing a valuable service. if it is as valuable as they claim, users will keep coming back.
But for most endusers who are using IE, they already get the MS search page? And who is actually going to manually go to sitefinder and type in their typoed URLs, especially when they're already used to Google or similar? The service's "value", if any (and that's a very big if), depends on it being automatic...
