What do you suppose google does when they are faced with a novel query and their algorithm returns 10 equally good results as matches? At that point you might as well provide a whole bunch of users some permutation of the matches and take into account which links are clicked on the most. This is exactly what bing is doing and if you crawl the web then you will indeed end up with google's database, the only difference will be how you rank results.
- sorbus 16y agoThat's not what bing is doing in this case. What bing is doing is taking information from Google, as collected by users, and presenting that information to their own users.
- ddkrone 16y agoYa, and? They are also taking information from a whole bunch of other sites collected by their users and incorporating that information into ranking search results. I don't really see how this is inherently wrong.
- sorbus 16y agoI'm not saying that it's inherently wrong, I was attempting to explain to you how your example (Google using A/B testing to determine which results are the most relevant) had no relation to what bing is doing.
