Google-Bing Controversy (Feb 2011) Bing Side of the Story

Filed in Search Engines 4 comments

Google recently accused Bing of “copying results” by running a few outlier tests. I am compiling a list of links to sort of explain the Bing side of the story. I do currently work for the Bing team in BI capacity so these are public links and my personal views.

Bing team’s official replies:

Explain how the Google test was conducted:

Edmond Lau from Quora (ex-Google) wrote a nice answer on how search algorithm work in this case that I think it’s close.
