Bing is better

Bing is better

from Stardock Forums

I've pretty much made the switch.  The image search handling is very nice as is video.  The thing that put me over the top is having Wolfram Alpha integrated into the system.  Seriously, if I'm at some point able to search for data and then process it through some kind of 3-D integration and get my own interpretation just on a search system?  Wow.  BTW: I love Alpha already just because it does an excellent job of assisting and showing logical steps through some thorny Calculus issues, especially in 3-D where you're thinking about cliffs, spikes, falloffs, etc.  Very very useful.

Quick, type the below text into google and then bing and tell me what you get:

integrate (exp(x^2)*sin(x))



One of the result on the first page of Google search have lead me to http://integrals.wolfram.com/index.jsp?expr=Exp[x^2]*sin[x]&random=false ... these online integrator seem to be great and it is now a bookmark in my browser...

These first result have lead me to http://www.wolframalpha.com/

Have try your "plot (x^2+y^2)"... result is  http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=plot+(x^2%2By^2) ... work too with the gradient...

If Google have lead me to a site who give me the perfect result and that i can boolmark these site for future use, why do i need to use Bing ? I have try it but no link in the first page lead to something interesting...

Because the site Google linked you to, www.wolframalpha.com, is going to be integrated into Bing: http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2009/11/microsofts-bing-xwolframalpha-google/ So you won't need the middle-man, just type it into Bing.

To be honest, i don't like it when Microsoft integrate something... if it work good, the next step will be microsoft buying wolframalpha... leading to the usual situation where the tool will not more be upgraded... and if the tool is a big success, soon of later, people will need to pay for use it...

Microsoft don't invent anymore... it is a big money machine who eat everything interesting for their own benefice... soon, for use the wolframalpha, it will be "with Microsoft internet explorer only" or a option activated for a fee...

More bad is that bing have a regional censorship system included who result in some regions... by example, it is activated in Germany if you make a search with the word $ex !!!! censorship is not something that i wish in my web search engine, unless i activate it myself ( by example, for protect my children )...

Google just become far to overrun with ads and misleading revenue driven search results. I;ve switched to bing beccause its better and far less bloated. Although time will only tell how long it can stay away from the abyss google has recently fallen into , just like every other search engine.

Microsoft has a part called "Microsoft Research" where they invent and research looots of things. If you look at some of the most important conferences in the world, there are several papers from Microsoft nearly all years (SIGGRAPH, SIGCHI,...).

guys, in the end, Google and MS are both corporations that wants our money.  So it is like the PC vs Mac, whose ass will we kiss, Gates or Jobs.  Likewise for Google searches vs Bing searches.  Whose evil wisdom will we rely on from the dark side.

 

The only thing interesting that i have heard is that ms is trying to get big companies to not to pay Google for page ranking services.  

Guys, unless you all have timeline/deadlines to meet, working in some big corporations, then just simple go through a few pages of your google or bing searches.  In the business world, i was told that when execs search for things, they never have the time to go beyond the first page.   I hope we all here have a bit of luxury call a bit of time.   And who cares which one is better, if one doesn't hack it for whichever purpose, it is good to have alternative.

Make a test... go to http://www.blackdog.ie/google-bing/search-com.php ... in the field near "Google Versus Bing", type "sins of solar empire"... on the Google side, the first link is to sinsofsolarempire.com ... with bink, the first link is a sponsor link to byway...

Same search for "dragon age origins"... with Google, one sponsor link at the left... with Bing, 3 sponsor link at the top and 2 at the left !!!

These simple example show that in fact, Bing is more about ads that google... can you show me evidence that Google have more ads that Bing ?

By the way, http://www.blackdog.ie/google-bing/search-com.php can be a interesting tool, allowing to make a search on the two search engine and having the result on a single page...

I do not get the same results. I searched "sins of a solar empire" on Bing and Google, and on the site you linked. Both had the same result; a lot more ads on Google than Bing. Here's some screenshots to prove it.

Bing:

Google:

One ad on Bing, 4 on Google. Also, most of Google's income is from advertising. They are pretty much the ad kings of the internet.

Strange that we have different result...

Now, for a Google search with "sins of a solar empire", i have no ads, 7720000 result in 0.09 sec...

With bing, one advent and 730000 result...

Do Microsoft detect that i have 2 other OS on my computer and punish me for it ? By the way, with Google, i have never these side ads... only sometime at the top of the page... with bing, i can have them on the top of the page and on the side...

So, let say that at the ads level, both are equal...

If you don't believe me, i have screenshot too... if needed, i will post them when i will be able to reboot my system... my ftp is working only with linux...

No they aren't, although probably they should just for you.

I don't see ANY ads from either search engine.
