Bing.com The Search from Microsoft

bing_vs_google
After using Bing for the last 2 weeks, it has made me love Google even more! I may be a bit biased because of my simple taste in websites however there are a few points I would like to go over.

First off I am not a big fan of the Bing.com splash page. Now I didn’t actually try to change the backgrounds etc but I wasn’t too excited to try.

Next the thumbnails that show up in every search is quiet frankly a bit annoying. If I wanted to search for images I would use the image search feature. Instead they just include it as part of the normal text search.

I found that many of the search results lacked the results I needed. I couldn’t find the exact type of information that I was looking for in most my searches. But there may be a chance I am expecting too much from a new search engine. A search engine that hasn’t had a chance to truly crawl the web in a way Google has.

I am looking forward to seeing how well Bing will hold up against Google. As for me they will have to make some more improvements before I even consider using them again.

  1. Bing really does need to put effort into the results they are returning. Unlike Google the top results are based on what appears to be keywords alone, not quality content.
