It is that if they try very hard to discover that a url U is very relevant to the query q (using sophisticated IR methods), Microsoft can discover the above relationship independently of any IR method and just by tracking how users click on various searches. In some ways both Microsoft and Google are right. The very famous page rank algorithm itself allows Google to use data that they did not create. Nothing wrong if Microsoft does it too. Note that Microsoft will suffer if the quality of Google's results decline. So Microsoft is not exactly using Google's results. They are using millions of users' filtering of Google's results. Just like page rank which uses millions of users' recommendations of various pages. All I can say is "you are right Google but sorry".TrialUser910https://www.blogger.com/profile/00203706989390973801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314876008291942531.post-45340120065312781252011-02-04T02:39:36.114-08:002011-02-04T02:39:36.114-08:00You are completely right mate, but the point is no...You are completely right mate, but the point is not in which way the search engine are collecting data, but how they are feeding their index!!Seoerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18338099116733346962noreply@blogger.com
