Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Searching for Google on Bing (without signing in) takes users to a page that looks a lot like Google. It's a clear attempt from Microsoft to make Bing look like Google for this specific search query. Other search results return without the special interface. Bing still surfaces search results for Google underneath the spoofed Google UI. Microsoft has used similar tactics over the years to convince people to switch to its products.
