I like google. Not a fan of bing. Might have something to do with the fact it's a microsoft website. And the fact they collect and store your personal and browsing history. I do realize that all websites remember your browsing history, in the form of cookies. I just don't trust microsoft. Considering they sell your contact info to sponsors and such.

I just don't trust microsoft. That's all.

I hate Bing...
It seems to give you sights you arent looking for vs Google finds what I need almost instinttaniously..

Bing also adds a bunch of BS that is inmaterial to what Im searching for...

Did anyone "Bing on it 2 compare ?" I found it interesting & informative...I use Googles for the majority of my searches, but have been trying `Bing when I can't get the infor I seek...

When I did the Bing on `it I got a tie between the two (50%)...
I'm on the line...

Also I found on Googles that the FBI requested Millions of $'s to monitor Cyber `Space & MCF `Space LOL
(What do U think ?)
FBI Wants More Money To Spy Online < Click 2 read more or turn yourself in 4 violations of something ?
Do you know all the laws in our country ? Ignorance of the law is not an excuse/defense (sorry officer, I did not know that)

I use Norton Safe Search which is powered by Ask. I trust Microsoft a lot more then Google. They both collect and sell your browsing history, but Google goes a bit further then that. You should read the EUL you agree to when you use chrome, you tube, g mail, etc. and do some research about what companies and agencies they are in bed with. They also sell search engine positioning to the highest bidder, so the results you see near the top of your search are there because of that - not because they are popular or highly recommended. Google? No thanks, I'll pass. Just for grins I did do the Google/Bing comparison and Bing seemed to provide more relevant results. To each their own though...

Space, I tried clicking the Bing It On comparison link in your first post. But it didn't work. Really. I'm not joking.

I'd say Bing failed the test by default.

I tried going to bing's website to do the test. Everytime I click their link to go to the actual test, it just reverts me back to the bing homepage. No Bing It On comparison for Canada I guess. I tried multiple times.

Bing loses again.

Okay, I tried the comparison the hard way.

I went to bing and typed in "7th gen chevy monte carlo". Opened another browser page and did the same in google.

7th gen monte carlo's don't really exist. It's a term that started right here on this forum by MCF members. So it's not an easy thing to find in an internet search.

Bing couldn't find 7th gen, so it displayed 5th gen info instead.

Google found the 7th gen sub-section of the How To section of MCF. Plus various threads on MCF with the term "7th gen monte" in them.

Google won my test.
