Suspicious of their new rival, Google engineers set up random results on their site for a series of unlikely search terms, such as "hiybbprqag." (Google arranged for the nonsense word to point to a Los Angeles theater seating plan on its search engine.)

"Within a couple weeks of starting this experiment, our inserted results started appearing in Bing," Google said in a statement on its official blog Tuesday.

You know what?! I've noticed some weird resemblance about search results in Google and Bing as well a way before. Especially in image search results... I was thinking to myself seo is seo works the same way for Google and Bing. But now this...
