In a WPF application, I need to fetch results from various search engines and count the recurring and non-recurring words from the context (description & keywords) of the top 200 results. This task is to examine the understanding and the ‘factor of popularity’ of the given search-term in the society.
Given a set of search-engines, if we Google it first, do we need to Bing it?
Generally speaking:
- Does Google result-set offsets Bing’s?
- Are they mutually exclusive?
- Can we expect mixed results on average?
Generally the results will be mixed. There will be pages that Google rates high but Bing rates low and vice versa. A site that is at the top of a Google search for a particular term is likely to also be highly positioned in Bing’s search results for the same term, but it’s not guaranteed as the two engines use different algorithms.
