A week of Bing instead of Google – Day 1

by BonsaiJon on February 18, 2010

It’s been a whole 24 hours of Binging my way through the search engines and I have to tell you it’s a bit awkward and it takes a bit of getting used to.  I am still not quite used to seeing being when I search through Chrome of Firefox.

Bing is weak when searching for programming code.  With Google when I usually enter a piece of code like “ob.style.width = GetWidth();” it will immediately give me a list of blogs or forums (outdated and current) with related links.

One of the worst things is that sometimes I FEEL the need to verify my search results by Google.  I believe this will be Bing’s biggest hurdle in regards to taking market share from Google.

The great thing about Bing is the image search.  It is way easier to use and navigate, gives me more relevant search results than Google does and yes it even looks better.
