O/T: bing-vs-google.com

Just a quick O/T note...

Here is a site that searches Google and Bing at the same time, listing results side-by-side:

Interesting. I haven't used Bing for searching and probably won't. I just did a quick test, Bing brought up 173 listings for the topic I used, Google had 9,940.

That Bing is useless. It's been my default search engine for about 4-6 weeks now, and it never gets as many hits as Google will. Google also has the advantage of offering alternate spelling (in case I spell something wrong), where Bing will simply tell you "no hits".
On the occasions I've used Bing, I've always ended up researching using Google, and I'm yet to see any links from Bing that dont also appear on Google.
Try doing an image search for anything from a phono to a coconut, and you're lucky to get more than one page of pictures on Bing.
I don't think anyone will ever better Google somehow

Yep, despite the nice scenery photos in the background it does not really find anything. Even the sites I used to find with google intentionally did never show up on MicroHoo's bing.

I sometimes use ixquick.com which is a useful metacrawler.
