Bing accuses Google of copying, Microsoft denies

The number one global web search, Google has accused his rival Tuesday, February 1, Bing Microsoft site, copy the results it provides to users. "Some results from Bing resemble more and more to an incomplete version, hackneyed, those offered by Google, a cheap imitation," said the Google blog one of the engineers of the division of research on the Internet Amit Singhal.

The information was given by the first specialized site Search Engine Land. Google said to have remarked that counterfeiting by tracking Bing on the search results from a misspelled word: "torsorophy" instead of "tarsorrhaphy (" Tarsorrhaphy ", an ophthalmic surgery). "Google gave the correct spelling.

(...) At that time, Bing gave no result against the misspelling," said Mr Singhal. But a few weeks later in the summer of 2010, "Bing began offering our first search result without specifying the spell. (...) It was very strange." MICROSOFT DISCLAIMS The experiment was repeated on other research meaningless ("hiybbprqag", "delhipublicschool40 chdjob" and "juegosdeben1ogrande") that Google deliberately assigned a result.

After a while, Bing offered the same. Microsoft has formally denied. "What we saw in today's article is a stunt worthy of a spy novel made to generate aberrations in the ranking of search results improbable," said Bing's blog a senior officer of this business at Microsoft, Harry Shum. "We use more than 1000 different signals and features in our ranking algorithm," he added, excluding any use of the results offered by Google.

The latest results released by the Institute comScore, Google accounted for 66.6% market share in December, against 16% for Yahoo and 12% for Bing.
