Bing.com core technology? [closed]

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answ开发者_Go百科ered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center. Closed 12 years ago.

We all know bing.com is a Microsoft site, hence it's technology is built upon Microsoft stuck (I can hardly imaging something different). Does any one have an idea about what technologies are used in Bing.com (for serving the pages, for indexing the web, for searching the database.. etc)?

/* Strange question you say?! C'mon it's StackOverflow, we can get a good answer ;-) */

Any web search engine uses a web crawler to travel and index web pages and their content. Bing uses a crawler called Msnbot which, in the past, has been often criticized for being too slow.

Msnbot should appear this way in your server's log:

msnbot/2.0b (+http://search.msn.com/msnbot.htm)

Also, Microsoft has a FAQ page about Msnbot.
