Google accuses Bing; Bing deflects accusations; Google strangely silent

djbaxter — Sat, 05 Feb 2011 06:50:21 +0000

In a move that seemed more like college dorm intrigue than research or detective work, Google set up a rather silly sting in search terms for rare or nonexistent words and then claimed that for these infrequent search terms about 9% showed up in Bing’s search results. Based on this rather flimsy “evidence”, they accused [...]
