Recently Google Search Results got a make over. Good to see that Google is going in the direction of the Bing. It certainly shows that they are paying attention towards Microsoft Bing and think that what Bing’s doing is some what right. Its interesting to notice how if Microsoft tries to imitate something they get blasted whereas if others do the same, they get lauded. Google appears to be much better at generating hype than any others. The mere fact that the ridiculously minor changes they made to their search results somehow qualified as front page news speaks volumes. One thing I have to admit is, Bing experience outside US is not so great. By default it redirects you to local home page based on your location and the quality of results outside US is not up to the mark. Though their side bar looks like Bing, but the feature they are offering is not anywhere close to Bing. I still feel Bing is actually helping you to make the decisions and therefore called as a decision engine rather than a search engine with WYSIWUG (What You See Is What You Get).
