   @nolan More data = better results was supposed to make Bing (Live Search + Yahoo) better, but their results still suck. At some point, more data --> more garbage in the absence of incredibly strong filtering (see for example, the US TSA's No-fly list).

      @lnxw48a1 Yeah but Google still has 80% of the search market: https://www.netmarketshare.com/search-engine-market-share.aspx?qprid=4&qpcustomd=0 . Every time one of those 80% of users clicks on a search result, it feeds back into the algorithm and makes their model better. I think the case of Google search kind of exactly proves the point. :)
