24 hours after the sudden passing of Michael Jackson, I decided to take a look at how fresh the results were from various search engines.
WolframAlpha shows a date of birth and a date of death for former President Ronald WIlson Reagan.
For Michael Jackson, WolframAlpha only displays a date of birth.
Next, I compared Google and Bing. In the snippet from Wikipedia, Google’s cache is more up to date than that from Bing. Google’s display the date of birth and the date of death.
Bing does not.
Curiously, the snippet that Yahoo displays from Wikipedia excludes the date of birth. However, if I view Yahoo’s cache, I can see that they have the older version of Michael Jackson’s biography, like Bing.
