As we told you yesterday, Google recently told the world that it caught Microsoft in the act of stealing search results, most likely by collecting data from Google searches performed within the Microsoft toolbar.
Microsoft, for the record, issue the simple statement, “We do not copy Google’s results.”
Google hasn’t quite outline how it caught Microsoft–nor did it spill plans for recourse (in fact, Google likely hasn’t copyright it’s results, so there’s probably not all that much it can do), but we did catch a glimpse of how the search giant caught Redmond–hiybbprqag. And mbzrxpgjys. And a number of other random search queries–one-hundred in total.
When Google-created pages with those terms started popping up in Bing searches, it was clear that the company was on to something.
