Google vs Bing

[SeymourDuncan]

In my years of googling I have found monsterous amounts of crap weaves into the crevasses of my searches.

However if I have a stupid question google has been very good at giving broad enough results to get general ideas of what I am researching.

Bing: this seems to have a more serious type of search method and is harder to use when asking questions. In fact I get insulted by the results that pop sometimes.

Google understands there are dumb questions tha t just need to be answered.

Bing doesn't think I need to ask these questions and shows by giving me results that are less relevant.


Now changing gears to a more educational and precise search google is still extremely vague. This can be good by giving me more options to my ideas.

Bing is like bam. Here's what you want.

So here is what I say.

Have a question
Ask google

Do you know what you are looking for?
Tell bing

I don't have a favorite but I do ask a lot of dumb questions.

I have noticed with google lately that I am getting redirected to websites that I didnt want to go to.also it doesnt let me "backspace" to google to try again.Its frustration when trying to do research.....

Try asking stupid questions. It works better that way hahaha

OMG, I knew Google had a lot of junk, I just never realized how much. Did a simple search for an owners manual for a thermometer. Google didn't have the info in the first 100 results, Bing was the first one.....

if you type "what number is my water degrees?" google will be more exact with its results
