Google displays Live Search as a 1st result for 'search'
Funny: type in ’search’ in Google and the first result to come out is Microsoft’s Live Search.
At least, it shows Google keeps a fair approach when it comes to result relevancy: Live Search contains the keyword ’search’ so the result is pretty logical indeed.

What I find even more interesting is that Live search for “search” doesn’t list any major search engine on the first page, I only get Finnish companies’ web sites’ own search pages – even though I haven’t specified to search only in Finland. Similar search in Finnish for “haku” (find/search) has the first (major) search engine at #7, which is Google.
Nope Kari, I get Google in third position on Live Search after search.com & search.yahoo.com.
But I don’t. Live Search seems to use some magic to determine that I must be more interested in Finnish sites. The bad thing is that I can’t find any setting to search “search” globally.

When you search in live, there should be an option-link which will take you to a place where you can change your location. Mine is set to Rotterdam, by default, and I get the same results as Jeremy.
