Microsoft: 'We do not copy Google's results'


On February 1, Google went public (via SearchEngineLand.com) with claims that Microsoft is copying Google search results with Bing.

Is Microsoft copping to the claim? Here’s the original response Microsoft is providing to folks who are asking:

“We use multiple signals and approaches in ranking search results.  The overarching goal is to do a better job determining the intent of the search so we can provide the most relevant answer to a given query. Opt-in programs like the toolbar help us with clickstream data, one of many input signals we and other search engines use to help rank sites,” said Stefan Weitz, Director, Bing.
