BING. Anyone Using This New Search Engine?

My wife likes it, says its faster than google. Hmmm. I do like the mouse-over line on the right side that shows a clip of the website the URL goes to for each listing.

www.bing.com

I saw that post as I try to do searches before I post a question. However, that thread was talking about Bing - Local and I am looking for info on Bing itself.

Google Squared is out now too. I find it very very odd and not all that helpful in any way. I haven't messed with Bing yet.

Re: BING. Anyone Using This New Search Engine?

One feature I like is the way related searches are displayed. I tend to search for some rather sophisticated technology topics. Sometimes testing all the variables is a challenge and this has been helpful, which I do admit I then readily also type into Google to see their results.

Have you seen this?

If you do a google search and click on search options then wonder wheel, good way to sort info.

Bing looks pretty cool, I love the commercials!

I just tested it for relevancy on a few topicsa and the results were more related to my search query than Google Search.

I may have found a new friend to play with.

Some one on reddit built a blind compariosn page for bing, google, and yahoo. You type in your serch and then click the search result that you like best. It the results ended up something like Google: 43%, Bing: 32%, Yahoo: 25%.

LOL, that's a really funny picture topfloor.

I think bing is great. for a lot of searches, like travel and maps (they give you traffic instantly) it works much better then google.

Hi Mike....

Search engines speed depends upon the your query. If you use simple query it might be possible you get its result faster and for complex query it may little time.
