No 'MSN' Search .... instead 'bing'

Hi:
There is NO 'MSN' Search at the left hand of the screen. Instead, when I
clicked 'Search' at the top, 'bing' search appeared, that I never saw before
and I want to get 'MSN' back that I used since I started to use PCs.

How to restore/get 'MSN' Search back upon clicking 'Search' at the top?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Bing *is* MSN search - Microsoft has changed the name to "Bing". See here:

Search using Bing and you're getting all of MSN Search, and more.

Hope it helps,
Andrew

Not possible. Bing has replaced Windows Live Search and MSN search. Call
it "progress" or call it "MS lamely trying to beat Google at search".

Just curious, what do you mean by the "left hand of the screen"? Which
screen?

When using MSN as homepage you were able to click Search and a Search Pane opened up
on the left side of the screen where you could pick and choose from different search
engines
