    Today's witty comment on this in the daily news was: By returning the results from another search engine? True story, Microsoft used to do this back in tha day. Google caught them by injecting some fake results into their search results and sure enough those fake results were turning up in Bing! Funny stuff. Speaking of search engines, what does everyone use? I use Google just cuz I'm conditioned to. Who has the best search results these days? /=ever

          If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

                  AltaVista :) jk, I Bing it. Side note, If MS is using Google, how come the results are returned more quickly? I would think it would be slower with two parties tracking your every step. :confused:

                    I haven't checked this recently, but years ago, when I was searching for something in MSDN, the search engine never returned anything relevant to my question. Switch to Google, ask the same question, and it would instantly return the correct document in MSDN! Is this still the case, or have they learned how to perform a search since then?
