And some small pages seem to have gone missing entirely – some "humorous" typos that I distinctly remember used to return a small handful of pages now return nothing on Google, even though the page(s) in question still exist(s) and is/are still indexed by Bing.

Bing used to be a joke, but nowadays they actually do a decent job for cases in which Google fails.

Watch them sneak in and steal search. Over the years, Google lost any sort of moral moat that put them above Microsoft. Does anybody think that Microsoft is more intrusive and user-aggressive than Google any more? It's six of one and a half dozen of the other, and if I use Linux or a Mac at home, Microsoft doesn't seem overly interested in me at all aside from trying to sell me Office. Google's probably trying to figure out a way to license my brainwaves.
