While Bing was poor for tech related searches in the earlier days, I find it's no longer true. Are you sure it’s 0 results on Bing? I get a bunch of relevant-looking results, and they’re all different from what Google gave me (just the first page): https://www.bing.com/search?q=%22Invalid+store+category+name%22 https://www.bing.com/search?q=%22Invalid+store+category+name... Some weird personalization thing? Interested in seeing what others see when they click that link...

  I got no results either, then I decided to switch my country/region to US English which resulted in a lot of results. Rather strange to localize results so much (especially when the alternatives are showing many results vs. showing no results)

Maybe Bing is still doing this: http://searchengineland.com/google-bing-is-cheating-copying-our-search-results-62914 http://searchengineland.com/google-bing-is-cheating-copying-... In that case, the hacker news interest would probably get the page included in Bing, but it would take some time before everyone would start seeing it.

  Did you try the search on both Bing and Google? Looked very different for Bing and Google. Also, that accusation was purely a PR play by Google that IMO Bing refuted convincingly: http://searchengineland.com/bing-why-googles-wrong-in-its-accusations-63279 http://searchengineland.com/bing-why-googles-wrong-in-its-ac...

    > was purely a PR play Bing said they were using internet explorer to monitor users's activity and copy search results. They're still copying Google search results, just doing it through IE.

      When did tracking users become equivalent to copying Google search results?

        Watching what a user types into Google & using the Google result is pretty much textbook copying.

I also get a bunch of results using this query on Bing, but the first result with the exact query is #5. You need to add a "+" in front of the quotation marks to get an exact result in Bing: https://www.bing.com/search?q=%2B"Invalid+store+category+name" https://www.bing.com/search?q=%2B"Invalid+store+category+nam.... I wonder why you don't get the same result in DDG since they are supposed to be pulling results from Bing (that 1 results is from April 5th, so not very recent)? Using Google, I only get 2 results, so it is not much better...

I get a result from wordpress.org followed by at least 4-5 from ebay's various domains.
