I am most certain Google is not sabotaging any thing. I have seen this for many other sites…Google usually takes a longer time to re-index because of the gargantuan size of the index. Bing re-indexes faster which is something Google may have to work on.

I don't think you can blame Google for not changing every mention of Live.com to Bing as soon as Microsoft decided to rebrand. They have changed the name of their search engine as often as some people change hair colors. I think if you removed the search industry from the results of a man on the street quiz, most would have no idea they ever changed the name to live.com, much less bing.com Terry Howard's last blog post..Formula For Success

What is interesting to me is that Microsoft pays millions in advertising and Paid Search Campaigns to get screwed with by Google's indexing engines.

We all love Google but at the end of the day the are a business with they own interests to protect . . . that being said . . . . I think Google make have indexed the page automatically but left it that where untill somebody noticed AUTOMAGICALLY . . . lol . .. . has anyone noticed the new GOOGLE TRY YOUR SEARCH ELSEWHERE????

They are still referring to BING as LIVE – you wouldn’t even notice it if you were not looking for it

“Try your search on Yahoo, Ask, AllTheWeb, Live, Lycos, Technorati, Wikipedia, Bloglines, Altavista, A9, GoodSearch”

Perhaps they should be paying more attention to their own SERPs, the continuing tragedy that is the results for "search engine" in Bing is just pathetic. Dogpile, AltaVista, WebCrawler, AllTheWeb and 2 (count them 2) results from Wikipedia are in the top 5? I surprised HotBot, Lycos and Inktomi didn't make the list.

To answer the question in the headline: no we definitely weren't deliberately sabotaging Bing's search listing. I see ~140K pages indexed for [site:bing.com/travel], so it's not a surprise that some pages got indexed while Bing was down. It's definitely in the normal range to take a few days for Google to recrawl a page. Matt Cutts's last blog post..Making a John Q Public account on Google
