Bing steals Google search results

I wouldnt read too much into this as that week the story came out, there was a Conference going on in the area of search engines, in the Farsight Summit... coincidence? also it wss a week earlier I think that data was out to Bing making inroads into Googles market share.

Search is big business and these corporate wrangles are going to become more common place, IP is the golden buzzword in tech these days.

Did you read the other side of the story?

Im still open to if it was cheating as if a word and it could be a junk work as listed, to give a specific result, in specific results due to number of times searched and page rank, also coulx to play devils advocate be a dreamed up rouse to discreadit another company. Plus the information any search engine is actually not theirs anyway as in a far reaching comment of mine, they have already stole it from the site that it was originallyposted on.

Ive found Bing better than Google now and find increasingly i have to use search strings to get a better reply, although both are as bad as each other, but thaf may chance as google is adding some new options of late. I prefer the likes of Yippy (nee Clusty) a cluster search engine.


But then search engines are like browsers and Windows versions, it is like a pair of comfortable underpants that are tried and tested but becoming threadbar and you just cannot throw them away for a new pair to try on.

As I mentioned I think there is more to this than a few soundbites ob forums and blogs than meets the eye.

 

I should never type a long post like that above on a mobile phone, typocity, but then it will be spidered at some point, although feel sorry for the person who types "coulx" thinking they where going to get results for something different as in the town in France and get my post

But I agree with you Silas, over the years searching for items via google has become a pain, especially as you may wish to search for a specific file name as you have had an issue/crash with said file, only to search on the file name to end up having to waid through pages of HJT logs, because everyone knows HJT is good for finding why and app or file crashes.

Yes can use specific search terms and the advanced search options, but thats adding time to your searching. Hence why I'm a fan of clustering search engines, narrow things down a bit easier, bu weeding out the topic groupings you dont need.


back to Google vs Bing, well that ones going to be a he said she said thing for many years as the search engine wars are hotting up again. We will likely see a few more stories of wrong doing, spying and cheating etc before the year is out.

another good take on this from an Apple user HERE

 

Yes Rikky majority of tech is copied from each other, the browser is the best lot to look into as Opera was one of the earlier ones and Mozilla copied alot the look and feel of Opera, then IE copied ideas from both of them.

Indeed some good points raised in that writers article on the things many dont know about Google and they are not all sweetness and light, but these are the things that many miss out as they will follow the flock and complain about the target of the month without reading the flip side of the story. Its always "great" to be in the flock and jump on the bandwagon!

 

Well, I have always been a googler :-D I manage to reasearch odd files through the use of google, using the correct search criteria.

 

Freak!

 

I take that as a compliment LOL

 

You know me well Emms
