Given the case of misspellings, Bing appear to associate what the user types into a text box with the link they subsequently follow. I think this counts as extracting information from the Google results page. <meta name=robots> is designed to prevent search engines automatically extracting information from web pages. By involving a human in the process, Bing are (presumably) avoiding this rule. Is this a good thing? I accept that Bing don't access the page content itself, so wouldn't be able to see the <meta> tag if it was there.
