MSN Search will be the corporate sponsor of events of the IQ club American Mensa this year. The events to be sponsored include Mensa Colloquium 2005, an educational forum taking place in March, and Mind Games, the annual gathering of Mensa members in April. MSN will also feature past questions from Mensa?s annual CultureQuest competitions on the MSN.com homepage, while Mensa has added MSN search bar to its Web site.

"Having American Mensa, which is synonymous with mental agility and knowledge, select MSN Search for its official Web site is a tremendous vote of confidence in our technology," Justin Osmer, product manager for MSN, said in a statement.
