Search Engines - Are They Biased ?
So who would you believe?
Microsoft or Google?
Quick search for VMware on
Bing
and on Google
Or are they just not as good as one another?
Quick search for Barack Obama on
Bing
and on Google
You be the judge.

Number of results aren't *that* important for terms like those. What is key are the results on the first two pages -- do they give you the useful results up front?

After you visited the 74,300,000 sites for 'Barack Obama', how did you determine a bias? I'm not sure I understand the point. Does google index googlegroups, too?
Ask.com returns 12,000,000 hits for Barack Obama. I would be most concerned with the first handful.

Perhaps "Biased" was a harsh word, but it seems that we all have our favourites.
Personally I don't think that Barak Obama's facebook page is the firstplace I would like to go, when punching in his name in a search engine.
