Do side by side comparisons. I haven't seen any of my searches (admittedly only the few I checked for this) differ from Bing's results in results or result positioning

It's unfortunate really as the owner guy keeps saying they use multiple sources but in all of my tests.. they're all Bing. I don't care about using Bing, I do care about being deceived (slippery slope, thin end of the wedge, etc etc)

Interesting, in my tests (posted at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27598329), the results differ a lot.

Maybe its more about localization, I'm curious to see the same example from someone in the US, but there are two links which do not seem to be in Bing's results at all, making me believe it has been taken from somewhere else.

Do a few more tests, especially complex queries, you will see a pattern emerges. In my tests, It is definitely using the Bing index (not necessarily same ranking / filtering algorithms or the same version of the index)

It could very well be location. I'm in the UK for reference
