59% Informative

If you use Bing right now without a Microsoft account and search for Google , you'll get a page that looks an awful lot like Google .

The Google result includes a search bar, an image that looks a lot like a Google Doodle, and even some small text under the search bar just like Google does.

Microsoft even automatically scrolls down the page slightly to mask its own Bing search bar that appears at the top of search results.
