OMG,
I so agree with what you are saying! Everytime i try to look up information all i get are a few drips of it and even then its not what i am looking for. This Bing doesnt know me...AT ALL!! I want information...not some tad bit of someones thoughts..I want information..ALL OF IT! I dont want a few sites to pop up because those sites ARE NOT what im looking for...so then i spend hours on bing trying to find the EXACT word or words so that it gives me REAL results. Bing sucks and thats a shame that people THINK a computer can TELL me what im looking for!!hahahahaha It has no idea...its always WRONG!! And one or two sites is just plain SLACK. It makes me wonder if some pretty woman came up with an idea and the guys tongues were sticking out instead of their brains. Come on get a grip this sucks...did you people at microsoft even try this out before you sent this out???? If you did..you need a new group of thinkers.

Bing is absolutely the WORST search engine I have EVER tried. YES, I tried Bing MANY times before voicing my opinion. This search engine is useless. It offers no proper information for anything that I have searched for, or needed. Bing must die...it's wretched, horrible, useless, crappy, and other explatives that I(as a decent human being) do not use...but you can bet that I am THINKING them...GET RID OF BING!

I tried Bing for the first time today. I wasn't just unimpressed,I was down right annoyed.
I hate pop-ups of any kind and bing is full of em. Not your average "buy this" pop-ups but stupid "informational" pop-ups.
If I wanted to know about the mating habits of eagles,I would search for that. Bing forces it upon you with a photo homepage and clicky "info" boxes that spawn "info" pop-ups.
I want to hit puppies now. Back to Google for me.

BING keeps making itself my homepage. I might be interested in it if it didn't do that but now as far as I am concerned it is a virus. Does anybody know how to get rid of the accursed thing?
Microsoft is doing their monopoly thing again, trying to oppress its competitors by misleading its users. Just go to bing and in the search box type 'linux' but don't submit it. Bing gives you a dropdown box that looks like this:
linux linux windows linux microsoft linux vista
I would never use a search engine that blatantly tries to force its corporate self on its users. That's brainwashing mind rape.

UPDATE: People who do searches like the follwing ones in Enblish sentences should go use AskJeeves or Ask.com.... “Was Einstein married?” (Google results = just 'Einstein Wife' “What did Benjamin Franklin invent?” ('Ben Franklin Inventions') “What is the top selling album of all time?” ('Top selling album all time')
This is a data search.... 'Was', 'What did', and 'What is the' water down your search on strong data collection sites like Google. Askjeeves is gone now, and part of Ask.com... which my mom thinks is a real search engine because you can type sentences in for a search and it kinda acts human or something... I don't know.
But you obviously don't know how to search enough to write an article about the pros and cons of 2 search engines, unless you are talking about search engines for my grandma.

I'm glad that everyone else thinks that bing sucks. I wanted to like it, I tried to like it, but its results just don't make any sense. WAIT A MINUTE!!! I FIGURED OUT WHAT'S WRONG.
We are comparing Bing to Google. Google is a "search engine" and Bing is a "decision engine." When we use Google, we expect, and receive, search results. Bing gives decision results. Just like all of Microsoft's other products, Bing makes the "decision" of what we can do with our computers. Bing is so innovative that it has blown our minds and we aren't smart enough to interpret its results ;)

What a big mistake this has been for Microsoft. I have spent a few hours testing Bing and it totally sucks, most of the results are not relevant. I think Microsoft ought to revert back to Live Search which was not the best but way way better than Bing. I think they ought to follow on Google's steps and start getting into the local idea. They really messed up this time

Microsoft know the basics, they have been doing search for quite a bit longer than google. But man did they seem to screw this one up. I used to use Live search and even MSN search all the time as well as google (whichever is the browser default). I used to find the results from either search to be good, pulling up relavent information that I am looking for. But man, bing just plain sucks. I after doing a search on bing a seem to have to try it in google just to get a set of relavent results. I myself will give it a littel bit more time but I think in the end I am going to actually have to chenge the default search in IE.
I don't see how they wouldn't have just leveraged the live search engine when creating bing. But it seems they didn't because the result seem to suck.

I don't think that there are only 2 pros that you can easily see. I don't think only videos and images are kinda cool in that search engine.
1. You get a history of what you're searching right in the left menu.
2. The categorization they use, seems quite useful for me.
3. There is also a preview of the content before you go click on it.
Again, this 3 aspects i just listed are really impressive. A few things to take in consideration besides "images and videos"

Followed your lead, tried "who invented the lightbulb" on both.
Not sure either had an ideal list of relevant results, but Bing really annoyed me by first showing an ad for a lightbulb superstore at the top (distracting, and something not found on Google), and the second thing I saw was a result from Microsoft's own Encarta. Sorry, but Encarta is so 1996...who TF uses Encarta in 2009?
Also saw some weird results elsewhere like QOOP photo calendar images giving me high-relevance image search results when I can't image browsing patterns support this, making me believe QOOP has some deal with Microsoft to get their product images high in the search results. This leads to a search engine without any integrity.

In all truths, MSFT has died eons ago with the anti-trust wars and is only hanging around because of Vendor licenses, Xbox Licensed Sales, Advertising revenue from PPC and the like.
Really think of it; when was it that you ever really went to the store and bought a copy of Windows, Office, and the like? Never!!! it came with the over priced PC you bought and want to chuck out the window because it stopped working.
Bing is just another example of MSFT's failure to launch something worth wild and leading standards compliant.

It is usually ppl like the comfort of what they already have and avoid exploring in the dark.. I am using bling for couple of days and I think it only needs acceptance..
Just by using a search engine for 2 days we can't judge anything... Atleast we need to use the search engine for a month or longer..
Why we have to compare everything with google ?? Yes they set the standards on the web, but we should also let other search engines evolve.. Lets give Bing a fare chance..

For me, back to Yahoo. I prefer Google, but I like how Yahoo clears your data from their servers quicker.
Bing, tried it, and don't like any of it. The thumbnail previews on videos being the best bit, yet I generally am always doing something and hoving my cursor back off the video stops the preview. I prefer loading the full thing anyway.
As for all the paging, there is a great Firefox addon called AutoPager which will load the next page of results for just about any site under your current page, very good.
There is also a Greasemonkey script that does this which I used to use.
So paging really should'nt be a problem - even if you are stuck with Internet explorer you could use I.E Pro to install the script.

The results Bing produced were where my blog is mentioned on the Internet - but never did it lead you to my blog - not in 10 pages - even when I typed the actual address in the search. It's MSN search repackaged. Google is better and moving into the social aspect of the Internet - leaps ahead of BING. Bing Bang Bom.

@dan “Wikipedia contains the most relevant info…” when Google puts the search result of wikipedia at top, its most relevant.

Bing has one "Feature" that for me makes it not usable. I have been using the side by side add in on ff, and it shows the list of both. This feature is the DREADED localization feature. I do a lot of traveling and it always tries to find out where I am to find localized results. I don't need local results, I am planning trips and I need the NON local results. Try setting preferences, and you CAN set to lots of different countries, but you cannot set this to NO localization. Let's kill localization on the web this is horific for travelers and in the and bad for everybody else!

The reason why bing is suddenly about 17% of the searches done is because on internet explorer it automaticly puts bing to the up-right-searchbar. And I think if you use firefox and install, for example msn messenger it somewhere says that "Bing will be put as your default search engine" But you can change the default search like this: Look to the right of the search bar, there should be a blue thing (Dont know the english word, sorry) and on the right from that should be an arrow pointing down. Click it and then click "Search other services" (i dont know how it is in english because for me its in finnish) then on the site what it opens just click google and put on the tic that says "Put this as my default search" I hope someone understands this and i really hope this helped somebody. : )

Sorry to say it, but Bing does suck. Someone said, it does not do your thinking for you, so don't ask questions. It is suppose to be a decision engine right? So why not ask a question.
Want a simple test? Just type into both "How tall is Jimmy Stewart". The most relevant answers come from the Google search.
Also, Bing does set Microsoft related issues at the top. When you search for Google, it gives you related sites, and list Bing first. Now, that's marketing.
Bing is used to sell Microsoft and that's just plain wrong.
It did have some features I liked. Like the side bar. Its cool. But, I will never use it again. Sorry Microsoft, it just plain sucks as a search engine and does a poorer job as a decision engine, which is how you are marketing it.

Ever since Bing started, I've absolutely HATED it. The results have little to no relevance, the links hardly ever work, and lately when I click on a link, the first couple of times, it takes me to a completely random page, nothing to do with the search! (i.e. Search for Elder Scrolls 5, link leads to a work-from-home outfit). I've been searching from my browser for years, and want to keep doing so, so I tried to change my Internet Search Provider, only to find out that, mysteriously, the only one that works when I try to use it is Bing! Google, Yahoo, Ask, even crappy AOL search all give me "a file could not be downloaded" error messages. Anybody else think MS is sabotaging the competition? I mean, who else controls the IE file downloading?

What worries me is the possible merger of Google and MSN, and the possibliltiy that they might keep "BING." No one I knows have the patience to deal with "Bing." I think they hired a

I just go immediately to Google. If Google and MSN merge, of course we're immediately screwed. They might keep BING, the worst search engine of all time. BING was developed by caphuchin monkeys caged with old World Book encyclopedias. There's no other explanation for a system this bad. Well, perhaps the developers are bereft of logic and any form of education. Uh, BING developers. Do you know what a BOOK is? Please consult your monkeys.

Bing won't allow me to log into my e-mail. I am starting to hate microsoft more and more daily. Now If only I could access my hotmail to transfer it all to google.
I am beyond mad as there is time sensitive stuff I need to access but I can't cause I get redirected to bing search results about hotmail.

I have two stage names... abutterflyloves and kimmysharinglight. Google gets me results from 10,000 + to 100,000. Last I checked Bing I think I was up to 200. Bing does nothing for the searcher or the searchee.
I continually send them feedback. But I doubt they check it.

after reading almost every single reply i am glad that i HAVE NOT even went to bing.com, people are saying that it takes over as your defualt search engine! obviously they know that nobody in there right mind would use it so they have to force it on us. also the commercials are just the worst thing i have ever seen. i seriously get in a rage and have to turn the channel every time i see these on tv. why cant they just say "try our new search" and then show bing at the end? why do they have to be so f'ing annoying to the point where you want to throw something through your tv? i hope it all goes under and off the net and tv.

You people are EXTREMELY biased against Microsoft! Bing is not that bad! It's not worse than Google, it's not better than Google.. it's exactly the same! For instance, one of you said put in "linux" in the search and Microsoft comes up the boxes below for search suggestions saying "linux microsoft, linux windows" etc. That is not true! You are just saying that for shits and giggles. I get everything to come up for linux including command lines, downloads, and the different versions of linux.
You people are hating on Bing simply because it's made by Microsoft and you have no idea how a search engine functions or operates behind the scenes. I also strongly agree with the person who wrote this blog post as well. 100+ search results on a page of Google when only the first 5 are really worth clicking on? You must be using Google for practical searches, but when I search for programming error codes and support, I get jack shit for search results.

I just did a search under the Video portion of Bing for a comedian named Louis Black, and on the first page, I got everything BUT Louis Black. I got Louis Armstrong, Farrakhon, Theroux, Black history month, even an Angus Young video (Black Ice Tour)
I did the same search under Google, and got nothing But the Comedian Louis Black. BING SUCKS.

Did you guys actually try Bing before making this post and the comments?
Which search engine is better that only changing market share can tell... and we are already seeing the change in trend...
And for those who believe Google's map and video search are far better, guys give me a break... its okey you wana defame MS for anything they do calling it substandard or whatever. but i think this is overdoing...
Google no doubt was best once upon a time... but it has lived its age and without any business model its growing older faster than any other company! :)

I HATE BING it is one of the WORST search engines I have ever used. It pops up everywhere and is impossible to remove unless you just disable EVERYTHING it is attached to. Some how it just showed up one day on my computer and it is like a wart to remove the only way to get rid of this horrid useless unwanted growth is cut it out- without mercy.

"Microsoft know the basics, they have been doing search for quite a bit longer than google. But man did they seem to screw this one up"
Much like they have general computing.
I'm still trying to figure out where the little "best time to fly" advert they use is at on or with this search engine. What a piece of shit. What a piece of false advertising. What a great day for my google stock.

I use search engines when I want to find specific information on the Internet. What good is a search engine that doesn’t do that? Put all of the lovely graphics you wish to on Bing’s face, it is still a complete turkey. Bing is about as useful to me in my search for cyber information as a dumb blonde with a nice rack…well, actually, not even that useful.

The worst part was the actual article gives you searches to try. Did they really thing nobody was actualy going to try them. I did all of them and the results for Google and Bing are almost identical ... get a life MS haters.

Google is great because it's a WHITE page with Google written on it. It is able to use a complex mathematical system of links and keywords to find what you type in. With Bing, you have some fancy picture homepage that is different every time and results that are the opposite of what you need! Ever heard "keep it simple?" Go Google!

And that's when the true "SEARCH ENGINE" enter in the game, regular people don't have to learn meta tags or search hacks to get what they want, Live-search or bing is not so good even with basic stuff (at least if you don't get the exact term you want you get the most popular which could be linked to what you want), for me it's like a treat to make people fill relevance search tendencies for marketing databases, and judging by the way microsoft is incorporating (or buying) content for this engine i feel like they're crafting a B2B platform (...and later we'll see microsoft opening their own MAmazone or ME-Bay).
I can get a higher probability in google with misspelled or unknown therms than bing or even altavista (for power searching i still use metacrawler), these loosely search technique is important because the language is evolving (or crapping, anyway the language is changing) because the marketing campaigns keeps making horrible word jokes popular and the chats are not helping with it neither (u know the kind off wrdz the kidz luv 2 say, lol, etc), so i can get the corrected version from google for the search "Criztoval colo" to get "Cristobal colón", maybe if microsoft uses their office ortogrpahic corrector, but that would sound malicious like microsoft marketing their own anti-virus or selling licensed partner's products as their own (it's just not ethical).

This invasive piece of doggy doo doo appeared on my screen one day
and I don't have the time or patience , nor a poop scooper to get rid of it.
Please help me, the stench is unbearable. Does anyone have a contact number

Thanx, sincerely Andre Marshall
I so agree with what you are saying!
Everytime i try to look up information all i get are a few drips of it and even then its not what i am looking for. This Bing doesnt know me...AT ALL!! I want information...not some tad bit of someones thoughts..I want information..ALL OF IT! I dont want a few sites to pop up because those sites ARE NOT what im looking for...so then i spend hours on bing trying to find the EXACT word or words so that it gives me REAL results.
Bing sucks and thats a shame that people THINK a computer can TELL me what im looking for!!hahahahaha
It has no idea...its always WRONG!! And one or two sites is just plain SLACK. It makes me wonder if some pretty woman came up with an idea and the guys tongues were sticking out instead of their brains. Come on get a grip this sucks...did you people at microsoft even try this out before you sent this out????
If you did..you need a new group of thinkers.
I hate pop-ups of any kind and bing is full of em. Not your average "buy this" pop-ups but stupid "informational" pop-ups.
If I wanted to know about the mating habits of eagles,I would search for that. Bing forces it upon you with a photo homepage and clicky "info" boxes that spawn "info" pop-ups.
I want to hit puppies now. Back to Google for me.
linux
linux windows
linux microsoft
linux vista
I would never use a search engine that blatantly tries to force its corporate self on its users. That's brainwashing mind rape.
“Was Einstein married?” (Google results = just 'Einstein Wife'
“What did Benjamin Franklin invent?” ('Ben Franklin Inventions')
“What is the top selling album of all time?” ('Top selling album all time')
This is a data search.... 'Was', 'What did', and 'What is the' water down your search on strong data collection sites like Google. Askjeeves is gone now, and part of Ask.com... which my mom thinks is a real search engine because you can type sentences in for a search and it kinda acts human or something... I don't know.
But you obviously don't know how to search enough to write an article about the pros and cons of 2 search engines, unless you are talking about search engines for my grandma.
We are comparing Bing to Google. Google is a "search engine" and Bing is a "decision engine." When we use Google, we expect, and receive, search results. Bing gives decision results. Just like all of Microsoft's other products, Bing makes the "decision" of what we can do with our computers. Bing is so innovative that it has blown our minds and we aren't smart enough to interpret its results ;)
I have looked for something and Bing very often doesn't show the results for what I was looking for, or it comes back "not found" . As for Google Its just too big.
and all you get are references to Microsoft products and not anything about glass. Bias?
We're witnessing history here... the slow and subtle decline of a once mighty software giant.
I don't see how they wouldn't have just leveraged the live search engine when creating bing. But it seems they didn't because the result seem to suck.
bing sucks big time when comapred to google is this correct or wrong give me some examples for this question
on google and bing and bing gives only 5 results and are totally unrelevant. But google gives relevant results and many more.
I was expecting a good search/decision engine this time
1. You get a history of what you're searching right in the left menu.
2. The categorization they use, seems quite useful for me.
3. There is also a preview of the content before you go click on it.
Again, this 3 aspects i just listed are really impressive. A few things to take in consideration besides "images and videos"
Not sure either had an ideal list of relevant results, but Bing really annoyed me by first showing an ad for a lightbulb superstore at the top (distracting, and something not found on Google), and the second thing I saw was a result from Microsoft's own Encarta. Sorry, but Encarta is so 1996...who TF uses Encarta in 2009?
Also saw some weird results elsewhere like QOOP photo calendar images giving me high-relevance image search results when I can't image browsing patterns support this, making me believe QOOP has some deal with Microsoft to get their product images high in the search results. This leads to a search engine without any integrity.
I found this annoying and a waste of time, plus I am used to layout of google searches...I know where everything is and I like it that way. I am not switching. Microsoft definetely has the resources, they could have done something truly innovative here...booo!
http://denzuko.wordpress.com/2008/04/18/the-dig...
In all truths, MSFT has died eons ago with the anti-trust wars and is only hanging around because of Vendor licenses, Xbox Licensed Sales, Advertising revenue from PPC and the like.
Really think of it; when was it that you ever really went to the store and bought a copy of Windows, Office, and the like? Never!!! it came with the over priced PC you bought and want to chuck out the window because it stopped working.
Bing is just another example of MSFT's failure to launch something worth wild and leading standards compliant.

apple is wayyyyyyy better

i am an idiot and no one likes me, and i think they do
and what happed to poor google
i am so dumb buh bye
It is usually ppl like the comfort of what they already have and avoid exploring in the dark.. I am using bling for couple of days and I think it only needs acceptance..
Just by using a search engine for 2 days we can't judge anything... Atleast we need to use the search engine for a month or longer..
Why we have to compare everything with google ?? Yes they set the standards on the web, but we should also let other search engines evolve.. Lets give Bing a fare chance..
http://www.slickit.ca/2009/06/bing-has-arrived....
But, search bing in google....WTF.....
So which search engine is more generous...
Bing, tried it, and don't like any of it. The thumbnail previews on videos being the best bit, yet I generally am always doing something and hoving my cursor back off the video stops the preview. I prefer loading the full thing anyway.
As for all the paging, there is a great Firefox addon called AutoPager which will load the next page of results for just about any site under your current page, very good.
There is also a Greasemonkey script that does this which I used to use.
So paging really should'nt be a problem - even if you are stuck with Internet explorer you could use I.E Pro to install the script.
Microsoft is closely looking at this Blog. All the things that i have been mentioning in the blog, have been being fixed by Bing eventually!
so for all u Bing fans, put ur wishlist here!
amen
google is great
whats up with that gay "bing bang" thing anyway?
whos the idiot that came up with it?
01. My nuts are hot or not?
02. What is my body temperature now?
03. Will I get Swine flu tommorow?
1. No spellcheck on the main page - that is annoying
I guess Jimmy Fallon just sold out
NBC must not be paying out enough
Not only that but do a Google search of "largest hospital near vermont" and the first result is the answer, Bing gives you some radio announcement bullshit
“Wikipedia contains the most relevant info…”
when Google puts the search result of wikipedia at top, its most relevant. As wikip gives inside-out of the topic, it is able to be known as the "best result", coz user finds at-least something concrete to proceed further. wen user gets the building blocks, hes free to go deeper with better keywords for search.
how surprising

"google sucks big time when comapred to bing is this correct or wrong give me some examples for this question"
on google and bing and google gives only 5 results and are totally unrelevant. But bing gives relevant results and many more, included this Google adict blog
I have been using the side by side add in on ff, and it shows the list of both.
This feature is the DREADED localization feature. I do a lot of traveling and it always tries to find out where I am to find localized results. I don't need local results, I am planning trips and I need the NON local results. Try setting preferences, and you CAN set to lots of different countries, but you cannot set this to NO localization.
Let's kill localization on the web this is horific for travelers and in the and bad for everybody else!
bing certainly has more precise 'boob' images than google.
Type that into google, and you still have other stuff thrown in image results.
Peace Out!
Yahoo search is better...
AskJeeves is better...
M$ just needs to stick to figuring out how to make an operating system that works on ALL PCs. After that, they can tackle Google's hold on the search engine universe.

Want a simple test? Just type into both "How tall is Jimmy Stewart". The most relevant answers come from the Google search.
Also, Bing does set Microsoft related issues at the top. When you search for Google, it gives you related sites, and list Bing first. Now, that's marketing.
Bing is used to sell Microsoft and that's just plain wrong.
It did have some features I liked. Like the side bar. Its cool. But, I will never use it again. Sorry Microsoft, it just plain sucks as a search engine and does a poorer job as a decision engine, which is how you are marketing it.
