Google CEO Eric Schmidt confirmed in an interview yesterday that the search giant remains unthreatened by the introduction of Microsoft’s revamped Bing search engine.

Schmidt said in an interview with Fox Business Network that Bing’s arrival is already passé.

“It’s not the first entry for Microsoft. They do this about once a year,” Schmidt said.

“And from Bing’s perspective, they’ve got a bunch of new ideas but some things are missing,” he said. “And we think that search is really about comprehensive and freshness. The scale and size of what we do, it’s just difficult for them to copy that.”

Research group ComScore Inc confirms that Bing.com’s search market share grew from 9.1 to 11.1 percent between June 2 and June 6 but remains mum on long-term growth potential.

On the upshot, Microsoft’s new search venture offers keen insight into the unspoken realities of the humand mind.

Whaaaaat's love got to do, got to do with it?
