A search with bing for 'uc davis' highlights three recent articles written about their coverup. Streisand's effect indeed!

...with Bing?
The article describes how the SEO firm specifically targeted Google search results, so yes, I'd run that search with Bing too.
Yeah come on get with the program. The consultants told us we have to use Google services so their search engine will like us.
why would you mention a specific search engine?
If a tester entered a bug and you can't repro because the bug doesn't specify the environment, you'd rip 'em a new one. But someone uses two measly words to describe their test environment in this case, and now you question them about their eloquence?

Or maybe I have you wrong, so I'll ask: why would you ask why someone mentioned a specific search engine?

In case someone searched "UC Davis" and didn't find 3 articles in the results on Google or DuckDuckGo or some other search engine.

I didn't find that specification particularly odd, personally.

It wouldn't be weird if the specific search engine mentioned was Google.
