I am continually amazed at the utter lack of humility at Google even in the face of arguably improved competition in the internet search space with Bing. Maybe people who live in glass houses...

 

Either way, the comments made by Nitin Mangtani, lead product manager for Google enterprise search, at the Enterprise Search Summit seem to show a lack of awareness for exactly how well the Google Search Appliance relevancy stacks up against SharePoint.

 

In the last three years as Enterprise Search Lead for Microsoft here in the Southeast, I can honestly say that in EVERY bake off we've done with an enterprise customer where we compared head to head relevancy...SharePoint 2007 fared better (Weather Channel case study, Holland & Knight case study, etc.)

 

I wonder what happens when I search on healthy respect?
