" sting operation by Google reveals that Microsoft has been copying results from Google for its Bing search engine. The search giant alleges that Microsoft has been using its Internet Explorer web browser and the Bing Search bar to harvest information on Google users, according to a lengthy report by Danny Sullivan at Search Engine Land. Amit Singhal, a Google Fellow who oversees the search engine’s ranking algorithm, was crystal clear about the findings. “Our testing has concluded that Bing is copying Google web search results,†Singhal told FoxNews.com." source uh oh
Nonsense like that is why I quit using Internet Explorer and why I try to block Google from getting information about my searches as much as possible. On the other hand, the report is from Fox News so I'll wait until I hear a similar story from a more credible source.

Google conducted a series of test to prove that their accusation to bing is true. More details here - http://searchengineland.com/google-bing-is-cheating-copying-our-search-results-62914
