Google or Bing?

[k33nz]

bing is much more powerful than google, google just has popularity on its side.. bing has truely evolved

[Aergan]

Google, as said, integrates with everything else I need: Gmail, Google Docs, Google Calendar, Google Contacts, Google Bookmarks, Google Apps & iGoogle.

I generally find what I'm looking for 1-4 result links into a search query, I don't get such reliability from Bing or any other search engine to be perfectly honest.

Given Google's feature set, I really can't fathom how people can claim Bing is a more powerful "decision engine" other than it seems to be bloated with non-relevent meta data for each result query.

They are both good but using google has become a habit I can never break :blush:

[majortom1981]

Why not use dogpile.com? Thats what I use It searches bing,google,yahoo,and ask at the same time.

I used to use Live for maps and shopping, and google for everything else, but now that bing has improved to the point where its just as good for web searching I use it for everything.

[Growled Member]

I still use mostly Google but I do use Bing some now. Maybe 75% of the time for Google.

[Ayepecks]

Google.

I tried Bing, and it simply never gave me the results I was looking for in what I'd consider a good order.

[Shayla]

Bing :yes:

70% of chance it will become my default search engine.

been using bing for a long time now. really love everything about it. only time ill use google is if i need to look up images. thats about it

heh, same. I find the image search a little rubbish. They need to put those spiders activity on extremely high or something. Bing will take another year or so to gain any kind of traction. As for now, the search decision engine is great :)

Is Bing not that good for image searching then?

[murkurie]

mix of both, prefer bing.

Images I goto google.

Maps I will always use bing, and will never use google for maps

[kiwi89]

I use google. Its like a reflex now, I don't think I could go and use something else. Especially since my mail, calendar etc is already in google.

[Paul Ferson Veteran]

I like them both, but I do think that I prefer Google. Bing works well, but I just don't use it as much. I tried to use it without using Google for a couple of days and I always found myself going back to Google for something. But I do think Bing is a great engine as well, and it could overtake Google in the future.

struggle to find things i want on bing..

also, lol at the 3rd poll option :D

[brentaal]

#2 and #3 should be merged. (Y)

[Kralik]

Google 98% of the time.. right from the Chrome address bar :p Bing in IE.. both are great.. but I prefer Google search coz I'm used to it.. I love how customizable and easy it is and search can be catergorised.. I've shopped using Google search and then clicking Shopping on the top.. I love how simple it is..

[Guest xiphi]

I use Bing for most things, but if it's tech related I'll try Bing first then Google. Lately, they've been getting similar results.

[noblecouncil]

I use qrobe.it which gives search results from Bing and Google at the same time.

[BoDEAN]

Bing :yes:

70% of chance it will become my default search engine.

Enjoy, you'll be in the minority.

[clotz2000]

Google till I die, unless they die first but highly unlikely, or unless they start charging for Search Service...

Have you ever tried Bing for your own social life? What about a movie? Or a shopping place, plane tickets, weather at a certain area, stocks, etc. Bing is very capable of pulling up a good amount of information and keeping you connected to it all. It's weak spot is those power-searches, which apparently, is all your using it with and saying it didn't work.

[Anibal P]

Every time I use one of those sites that checks all the search engines for you, I end up using Google's results, Bing and Yahoo just don't give me what I need

Never tried Bing maps because Google maps gives me what I need too.

I see no point in changing at the moment

[crazzyyfool]

I've just tried Bing Maps and although its nice and everything. Man, their maps are outdated. The map for my area is like 5 years old.

Bing. Works great for me and the new Bing Maps (Silverlight version) absolutely rocks :D

[C_Guy]

For the most part, Bing offers a superior experience and search results. It's cleaner, classier, and free of a hypocritical tagline.

[Howling Wind]

Google. Even though Bing is good. I just still use google. It seems to find what I want easier. Maybe I'm just used to how you need to word things when searching with Google of Bing.
