Google is thinking of ways to eliminate its search engine from "content farms" - sites that create pages filled with cheap content which are ultimately meant to lure the user towards online ads. The company said it would make certain tweaks to its algorithm that guides its search results in order to eliminate them. Google has recently been under severe criticism from technology insiders that accuse it of allowing sites with cheap content to occupy top rankings.

Microsoft's Bing search engine was accused Tuesday of pilfering its search results from Google. Google said it discovered Bing's tactics through a "sting" operation mounted at the end of last year.
