May 10, 201214 yr Well, thank <deity of your choice> that I live in Sweden and thus don't have to use Bing :).
May 10, 201214 yr As Sigma says above: As for XBOX rewards, if you don't have gold membership you are limited to receiving awards for doing surveys and stuff (<20 points a time) Good idea, though...Not quite worth moving to the US for, though jake JAKE EYREIt's a small step from the sublime to the ridiculous...Napoleon Bonaparte
May 12, 201214 yr If only Bing actually brought up relevant information... Well, thank <deity of your choice> that I live in Sweden and thus don't have to use Bing :). Just for fun, try this: http://blindsearch.fejus.com/ It basically takes your search term and feeds it into Bing & Google, shows the results without saying which are from what search engine, and lets you vote. Not trying to convert anyone to Bing, but sometimes people who seem to have something against Bing consistently end up voting for the Bing results :P. Search engine preference is something personal based on your own use of them. For my use, Bing is actually really good and often turns op more relevant stuff than Google does. I also get the feeling Google is getting 'too smart'. Taking my search term, only using parts of it, guessing that I mean one thing and showing those results when I really meant exactly what I typed in the search box...
May 12, 201214 yr Pretty much very time I've Binged something with more than one or two terms, nothing on page 1 of the results led to exactly what I was looking for. Copy & paste that same query into Google and result #1 or #2 is usually right on target. /shrug Google has a huge head-start, though. I'm sure Bing improves faster than Google does, as they have more low-hanging fruit.
May 12, 201214 yr Bing looks nicer imo, but as Ray says above, it's a pants search engine.. Not sure where that report a while back about how much better and independent a Bing search is came from /me thinks :Whistle: JAKE EYREIt's a small step from the sublime to the ridiculous...Napoleon Bonaparte
May 22, 201214 yr Copy & paste that same query into Google I use Chrome and if you highlight any text and right-click it, the option to search Google for it is there.
May 22, 201214 yr I use Chrome and if you highlight any text and right-click it, the option to search Google for it is there. Yeah, Firefox does that, too. Not sure about the Steam browser. But it doesn't really matter how you get the text in the box when you're comparing search engines.
