Google has accused Microsoft of stealing its search engine results and using them in Bing. To determine if their suspicions were correct Google engineers implemented special code to deliver pages that had no connection to the search terms being used.
Bing caught with its hand in the search results?

Can you explain in plain English for me exactly how Google found out. Seems a bit confusing.

I would agree with Google...

Google cooked its own search results in a way that no search engine would link the search term with teh returned results.Tribble wrote:Can you explain in plain English for me exactly how Google found out. Seems a bit confusing.
What I type has nothing to do with the people that employ me.

-Prometheus- you should use a decent mega-search engine like clusty.com (or Yippy as they now call themselves). The search results are gathered in subjects and the search engine use about 4 other engines to get results. You only have to use google if you want even more results.
Both the Bing and Google bots run on this forum

"Integrity" and "integer" both contain a Latin root meaning "whole; complete." The root sense, then, is that people may be said to be acting with integrity when their beliefs, words, and actions have a sense of unity or wholeness.
