I was Google 5-0 but with technical queries whose results i did not know for either bing or google but knew what pages should be on top. I think it is actually deceiving. While choosing I was pretty sure two of them were bing. Because one's default address for movie timings was Redmond and in other the video results were all non-youtube. Something does not make sense. Either google is ignoring youtube results and moved to Redmond or they (MSFT) changed it so that people choose other result. (not many people would get the Redmond reference though)
- benmanns 14y agoIt may be that Google uses location information from your IP address, which, for the Microsoft servers running the competition, is in Redmond. If you search "what is my ip address" in the competition, Google's results show "Your public IP address is 131.253.25.46" (or something similar). This is a Microsoft IP in Redmond. Interestingly, a reverse DNS query gives msnbot-131-253-25-46.search.msn.com as a domain name for this IP.
- Achshar 14y agoWell yes that does make a lot of sense. Kind of stupid of me to not realize this myself.
