    For example, if a user specifically asks for a
    URL's full text, it might inadvertently fulfill
    this request.
So this seems to imply two things:

1: Bing has access to text on websites which users don't. Probably because websites allow Bing to crawl their content but show a paywall to users?

2: The plugin has a different interface to Bing than what Bing offers via the web. Because on the web, you can't tell Bing to show the full text of the URL.

I have to contact my ISP. That's not the open web I subscribed to :) Until they fix it, I just keep reading HN. A website which works the way I like it.
