INGO link Removed from BING???

[DRob]

As we say in IT sometimes, sounds like a loose nut on the keyboard problem.

That used to be called a PEBCAK. Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard!

Is it kinda like this? If so, its a local browser issue, not Bing themselves. All of these "favorites" are a collection of recently and frequently visited sites. I can delete them so they disappear if I dont want them to appear.

No, when i duplicated it using Edge on my other machine, it was definitely the search results. I was only able to duplicate it on that one machine, where I've never used Edge before and only using the Edge browser (even though it picked up my login to Bing automatically from my Win 10 login). Firefox and even IE on that machine showed the forum as the first result.

In any case, it is not Bing singling out anyone (as the OP seemed to think), let alone based on some political post he made. It's just the criteria, search algorithm and the relevancy stuff kicking in on a particular machine/browser combination, from what I can tell.

This. At almost 1600 posts, why would you not already have it bookmarked?

It amazes me how people continue to have yahoo or whatever as their home page and type urls into the search just to get to a page/site when you can just type the address in the browser and go there directly.

FYI..... That's not AT ALL how I access INGO. On my MSN home page, it shows the 'top 5' searches (recent) and INGO is always the first in line. I simply click on it, and the browser goes to Bing, where INGUNOWNERS has always been the first result at the top of page. It is no longer there (on Bing), plain and simple!

INGO is my homepage...

Or a dead short between the chair and the keyboard... I know I suffer from that error a lot myself!

And you. You're a real funny man, huh!?

I post a simple but serious thread..... asking if anyone else is experiencing this, and for some tech help.... and you're suddenly a comedian. Imagine that.

Is this how you got to 12,000 posts? Being a 'funny man'?

IE Edge and IE 64-bit works fine finding INGO via Bing search. However, when using Firefox, it did not show up when using Bing(typing INGUNOWNER didn't work either). I don't have Chrome installed on my PC to test. I don't think this is a big deal nor believe there are any conspiracy activities going on. It's just what it is. I don't use Bing as my main search engine since I think it is the weakest of all search engines. I use Google and sometimes DuckDuckGo (which found INGO by the way). I have INGO website on my menu bar since it's just a single click away.

Just a little teasing. I was really replying to the other poster's comment, and did you notice I said I was guilty of it myself? C'mon man, lighten up! Hope you're able to get it resolved, but as others said, it's probably just something quirky about the combination of browser and your ISP.

Working in IT is no PICNIC (problem in chair, not in computer).

i hate Bing.

Just tried using Bing to find INGO and I'm getting same results as GREEN607, but I have it bookmarked so I hadn't noticed it

5 browsers on 2 PCs and this site was the first result on all of them via Bing (can't believe I went to bing 5 times).

As a possible cause, is safe search or something similar turned on? We've got at least a couple people who see this happening, so it clearly is a thing, but is it a thing within your personal settings?

That is actually very much the same thing from a technical standpoint, it's just a cached link to a former search. It is possible that the search is no longer valid for whatever reason, but Bing does still have ingo indexed. You say the browser goes to bing, what is in the search box when that happens? ingunowers?

YES.

I've tried on multiple pc's and can't reproduce it with edge, ie, or chrome. Sorry.

I appreciate your efforts.... thank you. -Lee

Did you disable search suggestions? Try enabling it. Turn safesearch to Off.

As of 12:00 noon, the link is suddenly back on, on Bing! Go figure.

And I did not do a thing, change any settings on my browser.... nothing.
