This or That Quizzes are AWFUL!
The This or That quizzes are horrendous for several reasons. First, you punish the user for wrong answers. No other quiz you have punishes the user. Second, they are long and arduous. The user has to spend a ton of time looking up the answers. Third, they have wrong answers. Today's, for example, the book length one, had several wrong answers according to several sources. Fourth, they are boring. Nothing interesting in them. Fifth, they can be non-specific. Again, today's terrible book length quiz was not specific about what type of book. Do you mean hard cover or paperback? Please, is there any way to get these terrible quizzes replaced with something better? Thank you.15KViews2likes55CommentsBing de-indexed our site from search. Site Ranking Good in Google and All Content are genuine.
Our Site currently not showing in bing search. Though site crawled regularly and image search showing result. But regular search have no result even if we search for "site:5bestincity.com" Our website was ranked extremely well in Bing when it was indexed and similarly we are currently ranking extremely good in Google too. All Our content and image manually collected and organized and written by us. We are really surprised why bing gave us penalty. We have two other domain top5incity.com and best5incity.com to prevent our brand misuse and we had started to develop our website for internal purpose using that two domain and we strictly mentioned through robots.txt not to crawl. despite that bing crawled and indexed those two website and it was ranked also good in bing. We are forced to remove all result manually from bing as soon we noticed duplicate site result. We never asked bing to crawl and index or anything to do that duplicate domain. and it completely ignore robots.txt. But suddenly in november end bing entirely removed our main website 5bestincity.com from its search. Development site ranks 2 despite no index declaration. Please bing clarify what we did wrong and help us to be in your search result. If we violates and used any technique which is against your policy , guide us we will definitely take action. We have send almost 5 email starting from November end. But no reply still now. Its urgent as many client and business owner complaining that they are unable to find our website in bing.com and it jeopardize our effort.Solved11KViews3likes53CommentsPages of Bing.com automatically jumping to the top of page

Hello, I recently spent a few weeks getting the streets and addresses updated and added to Google Maps for our new community. There is an online process that I tried to use back in January, but it didn't work. I had to work with an expert who in turn forwarded my requests to the Google Maps team. Once we got over an initial hurdle to name the streets correctly, I could then add addresses in their correct locations. The good news is it seems like Bing may be getting data from Google (or it was propagated through another source) since all the addresses I added show up on Bing when I search. They did not show up a month ago. The problem is they are in the wrong locations. I've tried to go through the online process but nothing is updating and I do not receive any feedback through my account that the changes have been accepted. I've attached composite screenshots of what both Google and Bing Maps shows. You can see where all of the Bing Maps addresses are off by around 100 feet although there are a few other addresses that are off by much more. Any assistance is much appreciated as I'm there are businesses and individuals that use Bing Maps to route packages or themselves to our addresses. Thank you.11KViews0likes50Comments- 154KViews77likes49Comments
Help: why my site has been removed from Bing's search results
Hello, On October 15, 2021 my site (link removed by moderator) was removed from Bing's and Yahoo's search results, although it is still indexed in their search engine. Even the search key "site: ((link removed by moderator)" returns a blank page along with the message "Some results have been removed". I don't have the foggiest idea about the reason why it was removed. In Bing Webmaster I found no warning at all and they say it is correctly indexed. I have already sent an email to Microsoft's support but so far the only reply I have received is an automated one saying that they will look into the issue and then get back to me. I'm desperate, because this removal is having an impact on my budget and I don't know what kind of measure I can take. I will appreciate any advice you may want to give me. Thanks26KViews1like47CommentsDiscovered but not crawled | URL cannot appear on Bing

Am I missing something here?
Oh, DEAR, dear, dear Bing! I am losing faith in "This or That" once again! Today's (Thurs., Oct. 07, 2021) question is: "Which literary classic is longer?" MY first question to this is: "Longer" HOW? In page length? By publishing date? "Longer" HOW? Right off the bat, the choice was between "A Tale of Two Cities" and "Treasure Island." Can you guess which one I CHOSE after looking up the answer through YOUR very own search engine? No need to worry! I took screenshots. *(Please, see attachments below.) But, out of curiosity, when asking "which is longer," the idea WAS about page length, correct? So, if "A Tale of Two Cities" has a total of 112 pages and "Treasure Island" has 292 pages, HOW did I get the answer wrong? Have I misunderstood the phrase of the question? Please advise.Solved4.3KViews0likes37CommentsSpeech search speech!
Traditionally, search engine search a text from a text. I wonder that why not we search speech in a voice(audio or video) from the speech from the user? What is speech search speech use for? There are more than 6000 languages all over the world. Most of them don't have a writing system. It might not that useful to search from text to text. For instance, if a native American speak an word in their language. Someone else speak the same word exactly in another video. The speech to speech will work in this situation. How to realize speech search speech? ①Detect and collect all the voice in videos and audios in all webpage all over the world ②Speech Analyze all the voice into spectrogram and IPA with timeline. ③Analyze the users speech ④Match and rank the user's speech with the target counterpart from other pages4.7KViews2likes24CommentsARGH! What happened to (the) "people born on ________ __" ?!?!?
So (just like the last 631), my daily morning ritual consists of looking up "people born on (December 17)" AFTER I finish the daily set and view the day's "current weather." However, 'this' is what I got (today for December 17): Instead of: Or this: Is the scroll through(?) view being removed from the people born on this day? I hope not. As morbid as this might seem, I enjoy going through the 'people born on ____' only to look at the ones who have passed. It is my way of remembering the departed. If you take a closer look at that last screenshot (the one w/ Rachel Reynolds), you will find her listed as having been born in 1982 and died in 1928. Which is IMPOSSIBLE, ...isn't it?) o.OSolved8.3KViews1like24CommentsI've been mainly using Bing engine for the past 3 months and this is my review
I've been mainly using Bing search engine in the last 3 months. this is my honest opinion. I enjoy Bing more than Google because Bing has a better layout, Bing has so much more features, like when I want to reverse image search, It shows me the name of the person in the picture or in cases where there is a text in the picture, it uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to let me copy the text from the pic and automatically search for it. Bing also gives me lots of categories in image searches. I did a side by side comparison of a subject just yesterday. in Google there was no categories to suggest but Bing suggested lots of categories at top, they were so specific that I was surprised how far it went. Bing has Microsoft Rewards and what it means is that you get points when you do normal searches, you don't need to go to Bing Rewards dashboard to do any additional tasks, but if you want you can and get even more points. These points accumulate and once they reach a certain amount, you can redeem them for a wide range of prizes. I usually redeem them monthly to get free Xbox game pass which I can use to play all news AAA games on PC and Xbox. so basically I always and forever have free game subscription. Bing is integrated into Cortana on Windows 10 which means I don't have to open a browser to type anything, I simply press Windows key and start typing and it shows me search results, when I click on a result, it opens it on the new Edge browser which is my default browser and it's also better than Google Chrome for a long list or reasons. (de-googled browser, Tracking Prevention, Collections, Reading view and all of its features, Read Aloud with custom natural voice etc etc..). Bing also gives me peace of mind knowing that my data and privacy is being handled by a company that revolves around providing services and not data mining. Bing search results, the default search, is also very relevant. at first I used to open a Google search and compared both results for a specific keyword because I was skeptical that I might be missing some results but nope, I was getting exactly the same relevant results. Bing also has rich snippets appearing in searches, like when I search for a specific subject, it tells me that hey you also searched about this related subject yesterday and many other little info. Bing's privacy dashboard is also very streamlined and easy to use. I like that it shows me all of the searched queries I've done from the beginning and allows me to delete them if I want to, but I personally like to keep them as a record. Bing Also has all of the features that Google offers, I know this because I've been using Google for a long time. Bing has really and i mean REALLY improved in the last few years and that's why I'm writing this because I'm simply impressed. this is my unbiased honest opinion about Bing. feel free to read or ignore it but if you read I hope you enjoy it. Have a nice day and stay safe! 😀5.4KViews8likes24CommentsMicrosoft Search in Bing

I have had the New Bing for more than 3 weeks and it was working well. However, on February 24, suddenly the New bing chat stopped working, with the below error- Bing is equally unusable on both Bing Android app and Edge Android app for me. Before Feb 24, it worked on all 3 platforms. Going by the advises on MS Forum and Microsoft Support, I cleared cookies, cleared cache, opted out of Bing Rewards, made new Edge Profile, but it still shows the exact same error. Dear Experts, Please Advise. Really need your help here, in reporting this to Microsoft so I know someone is fixing it. Thank you! Alyxe Note 1: This happened after the worldwide "something went wrong" outage of Bing. That happened sometime around Feb 17 for me as well. However, after Microsoft fixed it, my New Bing also got fixed and I was able to use it. It happened again on February 24 for me, and since then, Bing has been unusable.
