BingMatrix simply reports the results provided by Bing with the required set of parameters. I have run into similar issues when using broader searches with a high result count by Bing. This seems to happen especially when the search term is a small word or when a site includes the specific search term very frequently. In your case, this seem to happen because your blog site includes those terms in every page multiple times (they are part of the heading and the labels that shows in every page). More focused searches seems to work better that do not hit every page in the site seem to work better.

Thanks for experimenting with BingMatrix.

Hi, Jose,

I created a BingMatrix search for terms related to Windows Azure at oakleafblog.blogspot.com/.../windows-azure-and-cloud-computing-posts_24.html.

Results for all but OData and Azure App Fabric appear to me to be excessive.

Your comments?
