As a boatload more people use Google to search for results than Bing could ever possibly dream of , it ’s not surprising the Bing squad has been catch copying and correcting top misspelled search terms , with data point mined from Google ’s results .
The blogSearch Engine Landuses the model of “ torsoraphy , ” which Google correct to the correct spelling of “ tarsorrhaphy ” and brings up relevantsearch resultsfor that term . Head on over to Bing and type in that misspelled Word of God , and what do you see ? The Wikipedia page for “ tarsorrhaphy , ” but no correction .
seemingly Google has been cognizant of this over close-fitting to a year now — but what to do ? Google applied scientist thought long and hard , and set up a sting surgical process . you’re able to take the whole tale over on the Search Engine Land blog , but basically Google conclude that Microsoft was imitate Google ’s outcome using net Explorer .

You could argue that if it ’s not illegal , what ’s the big consequence ? If it help Bing become a better search engine — and maybe even spur on Google to crank the gears a niggling quicker — then sure we should just be glad that everyone ’s receiving improved search results , no matter what engine they expend ?
Just hear what Google Fellow Amit Singhal reckon about the position : “ it ’s cheating to me because we work incredibly hard and have done so for years but they just get there based on our hard work … I do n’t know how else to call it but plain and dim-witted cheating . Another doctrine of analogy is that it ’s like go a marathon and carrying someone else on your back , who jumps off just before the finish line . ”
However incredible you and I may find this story , I find it doubtful a heist motion-picture show will ever be made about it , woefully . Unless Brad Pitt and George Clooney sink enough money into the production … [ Search Engine Land ]

UPDATED : course , Microsoft ’s spokespeoplehave weighed in with“we do not copy Google ’s results , ” but state us what you think ?
