"The inspected URL is known to Bing, but has some issues with indexation" 1) Does "indexation" mean what whoever wrote this thinks it means? :P 2) Why not document what the issues actually are on that page, so that the website owner doesn't have to guess?

Haha I didn't even notice "indexation." But yes, it would be very helpful so that we know what the issues actually are :)

Curious how Codeium compares to Tabnine?

Here's the blog post where we made the comparison: https://www.codeium.com/blog/code-assistant-comparison-copil...

As a tl;dr there is very little reason to pay for Tabnine. Copilot is far superior in the realm of paid products, and Codeium is comparable to Copilot.

For all the hate Google gets, it's crawlers are like 10x smarter than any other search engine. Wouldn't surprise me at all if there was some type of crawling issue that Google figured out and Bing didn't.

This is a case where I'm not ready to attribute to malice what is very likely incompetence.

Someone else recently notice their website wasn't indexed by Bing and they've got a similar message. The whole story is thoroughly documented. Maybe Codeium can follow their steps to resolve the issue?

The strange thing is that other search engines like Baidu and Yandex get this right...

To be fair, why a website doesn't crawl/index isn't always obvious from a search engine's end.

We did sign up for Webmaster tool, verified the site, and did the few things that they told us to do :(
