Image search for my name brings up a photo of my car, slightly oddly.

Whose car would you expect to be driving?

Is your name 'Luigi'?

Is your name 'Luigi'?

No, i meant me and a mate done a charity pram race and i was dressed as Mario he was obviously Luigi. Well one of the pictures of me as Mario shows when i search my name.

i love the image search where it keeps adding results as you scroll down.
VERY useful for quick looking with no need to hit 'next page' every 2 seconds...

Whose car would you expect to be driving?

I'd have thought a picture of myself would be a more likely result than my motor, however theres none of me that I can see at all.

Doesn't work properly. You type in 'Crystal Palace' and it doesn't take you to a sewage site.

Well, you are driving the car, so technically it is a picture of you.

Type bbciplayer into Google, and the link appears after the second b; in Bing, it doesn't. In fact the results disappear after a few more keystrokes, so you have to tap in the whole phrase to be sure it's understanding your quest, and then click on another icon just to display them. How annoying!

Like I said, I don't think Bing is FULLY up and running yet, they're expecting to have it properly rolled out by Wednesday, according to the paper.

Bing will eat in to Google's market share until Google adopts the new features in Bing.

I doubt it to be honest.

Googles strength is very much behind the scenes.

It simply brings back the pages you want, ranked correctly and fast.

That an extremely hard thing to, using very complex probability algorithms.

[Nottseagull]

...algorithms.

Are they gaffs regularly uttered by Al Gore?
