Lyrics and miscredits on some songs when looking up on Bing.com

Lyrics and miscredits on some songs when looking up on Bing.com

 

Last time if I type in a song name and lyrics, bing would show me the lyrics instead of search results. that is no more now. ;( please add back.


Also on some albums or songs, it says this is the author or writer but that isn't the original author.

      After investigating this it looks like the function is working correctly. When I searched for "As the Deer Lyrics" it did come up with Maranatha! version. The song As the Deer was popularized in 1994 by Maranatha!, so there are more pages dedicated with their by line. However when I included the original artist's name and searched for "As the Deer Martin J. Nystrom lyrics" the original version did come up.

        The As the Deer Martin J. Nystrom lyrics works but not the others. There seems to be not a consistency on bing to work

      Sure.

      As the deer lyrics

      Amazing Grace Lyrics

      Well the As teh Deer one does come up if I put Maranatha! Music As the Deer lyrics

      but this was not the case before. I used to be able to just put in the name and lyrics.

      Please fix, Marantha is not the artist,
