Google Indexing Bing's Jellyfish

Back in 2007, Microsoft acquired Jellyfish.com, a comparative shopping engines.
Sometime recently, it seems Microsoft set up a 302 redirect from Jellyfish.com to Bing's search results for [jellyfish].

The interesting part is that this is a rare case where Google has indexed a link to Bing's search results.

The second result in Google for [jellyfish] is jellyfish.com:

jellyfish google results
When you click it, it does a 302 temporary redirect to http://www.bing.com/search?q=jellyfish&form=MSDTR1 and then shows search results on Bing for Jellyfish.

I am sure Google will remove the result soon from the search results but this is just a rare case of Google indexing a Bing search result page, because of a weird redirect.

  3. Great post — the updates about Google indexing Bing’s “Jellyfish” project highlight how search technology is becoming more advanced. It’ll be interesting to see how this affects niche tools like Torrentio gettorrentio.com
    , which already make content discovery more efficient for users.

  4. Great post! The way you explained Google’s indexing compared to Bing’s Jellyfish was really insightful. I’ve noticed similar patterns while working on bloxstrap optimization — proper crawling setup makes a big difference. You can check more about it here:bloxstrappc.com
