Not sure this is relevant progress but 18 march bing for "HG download" gave no mercurial results (hg was assumed to be a mistyping of HD), by 24 march it was giving all mercurial results. I twittered about both. That is at least anecdotal evidence that things are progressing in some way or another.

That's not necessarily a change in the codebase, that could be the system learning from associations in queries and results it gets over time (something I know Google does and has for years, at least).

  Returning meaningful results is progress. Why would you want a predictably wrong answer, you must be a manager.

    Actually, you've plotted two data points here. That doesn't tell you much. How do you know it doesn't go back to showing irrelevant results on the 28th?
