That is obviously untrue, and shows that the author does not understand the issue even superficially. The Google experiment showed that Bing was associating urls to search terms for no reason other than that Google had done so. You know, like making a search for mbzrxpgjys return rim.com, a URL which we can safely assume Bing was already quite aware of.
- ajays 16y agothe author does not understand the issue even superficially. That, in a nutshell, is it. I don't know why we're spending so much time on this post, as the author has no idea about how search engines work, and what is robots.txt . If he had just looked at Bing's robots.txt and the URLs in Google's results, he would have seen that each and every one of them passed robots.txt . Since he site-restricted the search to ".bing.com", naturally you _will_ get only Bing results!
