Very interesting post. Since you mentioned that “the information I want and need is buried under a pile of rotting corpses” I thought I’d suggest that you take a look at http://www.surfcanyon.com/extension.jsp. It’s a client-side application that automatically digs into the set of search results in order to pull forward relevant information that might otherwise remain buried. We think you’ll find it interesting and would love to hear any feedback you might have. Thanks!

If they did do this it’d be a recursive acronym, “Bing is not Google,” similar to Linux which is “Linux is not Unix.”

My business partner came across a fairly extreme example of the same thing just the other day. He was doing some research for a client and typed in ‘pizza’ only to have a whack of American pizza joints presented first within the organic results. We’re a Toronto company so…
Since then we’ve had more logical results appear under the same search… so at best you might say that Google results can be painfully inconsistent.
Thanks for the great post – it inspired my partners own:

We live in interesting times when MicroSoft are the underdog!
