The Bing Search API does not return on specific queries any of the results on the first page of bing.com. For example "+Netguarians"

    @Karl Aberer bing.com search results are displayed for basic web search along with results for news, images, suggestions, similar search queries and other integrations from other search APIs offered by Bing like news search, image search, visual search, autosuggest etc.
    So, there could be a difference in the results since the direct API call displays results from basic web search endpoint.
