Bing vs. Google… the War of the Search Engines

[WakataDreamer]

So… you’ve probably seen the ads for Bing.com, which tout it as being much better at producing relevant search results than existing search engines. But, comparing it to Google and analyzing the differences between the results… I haven’t really noticed many. Supposedly, Bing is the first ever “decision engine,” but with my experience to judge, it’s just another search engine. Opinions?

I still don't understand how it's a decision engine.

Shitty marketing getup.

"Lucid Dreams" Google - DV is second result Bing - DV is fifth result Google FTW All joking aside, there's not much of a difference. I'll stick with google just because it's in my toolbar.

Bing sucks balls. Stick with Google people.

Bing's excessive graphics and scripting means it takes longer to load, something I dislike when I just pop open a new tab to search something on a whim. Google's plain page consisting of maybe an image and a couple of links loads almost as fast as about:blank. I gain nothing with Bing that Google doesn't already offer me without the slowdown.

I still don't understand how it's a decision engine. It makes decisions for you.... When search terms are entered that match products and services MS sells, those products are promoted up the list of results. Similarly, search terms that match products and services of competitors are demoted

If it weren't for this thread I wouldn't even know what Bing is. Not much of a war.
