Internet giant Google is convinced that the search engine, Bing (search engine) from Microsoft , copy some search results generated by the algorithm and subsequently be offer to their users, search engine created in 2009 to compete with Google.
To prove Google specialists prepared a trap. Recovered an algorithm to manually alter the results of a search and the terms applied to any Internet user probably would not be used to confuse a real user of the service. Specifically applied it to a hundred words " hiybbprqag " and " ndoswiftjobinproduction . Using Internet Explorer, the browser that Microsoft would use to control the results offered by Google, typed and entered manually terms fake search results. After two weeks, Bing gave the same results.
Controversies indictments were issued by the portal search engine that specializes in Search Engine Land where the engineer Amit Singhal, who oversees Google's search engine ranking, reported that Bing mimicked the results of Google. "I've spent my entire career pursuing a good search engine. No
I have problems with a competitor to develop an innovative algorithm, but copying is not innovation, not for me, "said Singhal. It Speaking to Cnet, reaffirms that the test shows that Bing copy their results," the algorithms search are the heart of innovation and no recycling of search results copied from a competitor. " Stefan Weitz, director of Bing denies this accusation and defends Microsoft : " We do not copy the results of Google search. Multiple signals and approaches used to define the ranking of results. Our goal is to work better determining the intent of the search and be able to provide the most relevant answers to any query. Opt-in programs such as toolbar, helps us to track clicks, something that we and other search engines use to position the sites in the ranking. ".
Hours later, the response was stronger : " not copied Google results " . A fact which provoked an official response from Google: 'Bing Microsoft uses search results from Google, and denies' .
Both the bar Bing tools such as Internet Explorer explained in their privacy policies that, by default, collect data of user navigation. Specifically, the Explorer explains that such data "could be used to analyze and improve the Microsoft products and services."
However, this was only a small number of results (between 7 and 9 of 100). However, they were enough to convince Google is that Microsoft was using its findings and liaise with Search Engine Land to communicate the situation.
"It's crazy. I've never seen anything like this in my 10 years on this," said Matt Cutts, head of Google's Search Quality . Microsoft, meanwhile, immediately rejected the accusation of plagiarism. So did his vice president for search products, Harry Shrum, who attended today an event in San Francisco on the future of Internet search engines, Farsight 2011: Beyond the Search Box " .
" We're not actually copying anything, we are learning from our users share data us. Use search engines and we use that data to improve the experience, "said Shrum. Cutts, who also attended the meeting in the Californian city, declined to rule on whether they could raise questions about copyright .
Shrum said Google would have liked to get in touch with Microsoft before making such accusations in public, but admitted the match, denied that he was imitating Bing Google searches for the system. "These (cases plagiarism reported by Google) were
few worked examples of very creative, "Shrum argued.
