Google undermines Amazon search

Google has snatched away Amazon's top search expert Udi Manber.

Logoa9 Manber headed up Amazon's A9 search venture, but has now accepted a job as a vice president of engineering with Google, claims a report by the Associated Press.

While the transfer is a nice gain for Google, is must be a severe hit to Amazon. It has never been clear what the retailer wanted to do in the online search space, and now it is starting to look like the company is getting ready to exit this business at last.
