Why Bing sucks today [modified]

[Dalek Dave]

It doesn't return any results for 'Gullible' either.

Doesn't it? When I try it then ...... I see what you did there ;P

Really? First result for me is "nlog-project.org/download.html" maybe you're not using it right. :rolleyes: :laugh:

[phannon86]

Doesn't do that here. Seems to be ok. It shows "related searches: blog" on the left though.

Spelling auto-correct on the browser by any chance :-)?

Let's see, the 'n' key and the 'b' key are right next to each other on my keyboard. Could this be a dyslexic typing issue. :)

I get the same result, but it does have a little note above the results that says: "Results are included for blog. Show just the results for nlog." nlog is a link when you click on it you actually get results for nlog...

[Giorgi Dalakishvili]

The same happens here too.

No, it isn't. It is offering a link to nlog but the results are shown for blog. See next post.

Actually, that's quite clever for the average user. It's detected that there's a term that is probably used by more searchers and returned details for those first, while still allowing you to go to the "misspelled" version (yes, I know it's not really misspelled but Bing thinks it might be).

This[^] is what I get.

It doesn't happen if I search with default location i.e. India[^] But If I go to the location preference and change to US it happens, that's weired

[Rod Kemp]

If you use the "United States - english" version you get Blog results for an nlog search but the others return correct results for nlog.

[Pete OHanlon]

Yup, it returns nlog stuff for me too in the UK.

Wetware epic fail.

If I type in gritter (default location set to United Kingdom), I get lots of results for glitter. Now, I can appreciate that nlog isn't really a word, but gritter is.

That's a feature. :)

Me, I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest.
Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for...
