[NEDBIB-L] Bing and the influence of History data, for searchers only

Short experiments with Bing.com

No need to explain the results do I? According to Bing, Q OR P is the
same as Q|P. Let's see. Let's also play with 'History'.

india 366,000,000
pakistan 57,100,000
india OR pakistan 33,900,000
india | pakistan 22,600,000
india|pakistan 1,820,000
indiaORpakistan 34,400,000

pakistan OR india 34,100,000
pakistan | india 14,800,000
pakistan|india 883,000
pakistanORindia 34,700,000

pakistanorindia 34,700,000
pakistanabindia 34,400,000

After deletion of the History files except cookies:

pakistanabindia 34,000,000

After deletion of the history file including cookies

pakistanabindia no results
india 413,000,000
pakistan 64,000,000
pakistan OR india 414,000,000

One minute later:

pakistan OR india 406,000,000

And another minute later:

pakistan OR india 405,000,000

Again remove all history files:

pakistan OR india 337,000,000

Anyway:

india OR pakistan 335,000,000
india | pakistan 336,000,000
india|pakistan 3,970,000
indiaORpakistan 9 [all indeed containing the typo]

Destroy history including cookies:

pakistan OR india 336,000,000
pakistan | india 336,000,000
pakistan|india 792,000
pakistanORindia 2



Let's call it a draw. For now. More experiments to follow, such as
searching Bing and Google without a browser.

Run from The Netherlands, on 12 June 2013 by Arno H.P. Reuser
(a@reuser.biz) on a Linux Fedora Core 13 machine with Mozilla Firefox
