- nostrademons 17y agoThey thought of that, and there's logic in there to make sure analytics servers get the right data.

- auston 17y agoAwesome. Thanks!
- ErrantX 17y agohold on. Since February ^^ I think TC needs to rethink their headlines. unless im completely mad Bing launched at the very tail end of may :) Additionally. There’s also the issue of whether or not this speed increase really matters all that much They clearly dont know a lot about search engines either ;)
- DanielStraight 17y agoThey may know search engines. Google is plenty fast for me. I would much rather see better results and have a easier time finding things than see faster results. A 100 queries to find one article I'm looking for is frustrating whether it takes 100 seconds or 200.
- ErrantX 17y agoI was more referring to the fact that Google religiously endeavours to speed up it's searches - and has done for an age. It does matter to them :)
- ZeroGravitas 17y agoAnd I believe they've published the data as to why it matters to them. Basically, every delay loses them customers. Bing and Google engineers gave a joint talk about it: Bing and Google Agree: Slow Pages Lose Users http://radar.oreilly.com/2009/06/bing-and-google-agree-slow-pag.html http://radar.oreilly.com/2009/06/bing-and-google-agree-slow-...
- secret 17y agoI wouldn't have thought it could get faster until I actually tried the new search. The difference is quite noticeable. Now I'm back at the same point thinking they'll never be faster than this! :)
