Google is invincible in search technology - Now proved by Bing

Now it has been proved that there is no match to Google in the search technology as Bing is copying Google’s search results. It seems companies like Microsoft are unable to compete with Google in search domain and ends up copying search result pages from Google to meet user’s expectations.



Some issues which need to be addressed here:

Why Bing have to do that? A company like Microsoft can invest huge capital, hire best talents and already have all the setup. Despite all this what they are doing is tagging other’s work as their own to satisfy their false ego. If Bing wants to show exact results as Google, Bing can redirect you search engine homepage to Google. If you can’t compete, you should accept that. This type of act is not expected at least from a company like Microsoft.

The Million Dollar Question

• Why Bing is unable to compete with Google (even with all the resources available to them)?
• Bing is desperate to survive in search market and want to dominate by hook or crook. Why?
• What made Bing think that copying results from Google will be a good strategic move? Bing could have asked Google for permission to use their search technology or collaborate with them somehow.


Simplest conclusion that can be drawn “Either this is one of the great blunders done by Bing without realizing how it can hamper the status of company OR there is no hope that Google could be beaten in search technology in near future even the tech Giants like Microsoft.
