I was searching for the memory requirements of a website, and gave a search query “memory requirement of a website”. Surprisingly, none of the first page results (not viewed second page) from Google contain the phrase :memory requirement", and all first page results contain “system requirements”. On the other hand, all the query results in Bing showed phrases that contain “memory requirement” Obviously, Google considered memory requirement synonymous with system requirement.
The basic idea was to know how much server memory is consumed by a website when x number of pages of size y are viewed simultaneously viewed by z number of visitors.
Did you try a search (in both Search Engines) for “server memory consumed by a website”?
I think any Search Engine, when encountering the word “memory” should not assume you are referring to computer memory.
We, as technically-minded people, tend to always assume COMPUTER when we think about anything.
Keep in mind that if you’re signed into your Google account when searching your results will be heavily tailored to your data on file with Google. If you have a strong habit of searching for server memory queries it would stand to reason that Google might put a technical spin on your search regarding “memory”. Try signing out of your Google account and searching again. Do you see different results?
That’s because google is smarter than Bing and your search string doesn’t actually make much sense so they attempted to interpret your search and gave you the most logical search return, whereas bing was much more literal.
Yes and it is called LSI, if you are familiar with what it is. Google tries to find the hidden meaning and also displays those as a results. I have the same problem with the competitors, they rank higher than my site without even a single mention of that keyword on their page
