Bing it on results are in!

I won't pretend for a second that this is in any way scientific. However, I have added up all of the results from the 'Bing it on' blog post, and many of you were kind enough to post your results. So, with no further ado, 10 results were regarded by you as draws, 14 went the way of Bing, and 28 went to Google. If you want to look at the results in terms of the set of 5 results, it's even worse for Bing - 1 draw, 2 victories for Bing, and 9 for Google.

So whichever way you look at it - Bing is very firmly trounced by Google. I really don't think that their claims are holding up that much.

I try to use other search engines, but what always sends me back to Google is date limitations. Other search engines need to add support for date searching, or, if they already have it, make it easier to locate.

Thanks Caryn - search by date isn't widely supported, as you mention. You can use it in Exalead - it's under the advanced search function.

I chose Google in 4 of 5 rounds... why did Microsoft ever expect this to be a good marketing idea?
