Just presenting facts and reasoning isn't hating.

I don't think you understand what Bing will do for Facebook or what this product is. It's not a generic search box... |
Not going into debate on what Bing can do on Facebook because I think Bing is fine for search in facebook as not lots to search for there comparing to Google.com.
Now, today I searched for 'Cold pressed extra virgin' on google, looking for what the benefit of this type of olive oil. The search result google showed was enough for me to gather knowledge on the subject. On the other hand, Bing showed me 'extra virgin coconut oil' on the top. I don't find Bing's image search a comfortable feature to use too. So, I guess Google is 'far superior' is not a thing I stretched out of proportion.

It just sounds to me like you are familiar and comfortable with Google.
I did a comparison with the exact same search as you and results are nothing one could use to conclude one is "far superior" to the other. Most relevant results are there on both searches and both list other types of oil. If you wanted olive oil I would suggest putting it in the search.
Bing
Both are same shit to me. If you saw the very first ad on Bing to list coconut oul, then most likely this was an ad. To explain why this happened...companies pay for word targeting on searches and someone like Ford will bid to target users when they search for GM. Same thing probably happened here when coconut oil maker is targeting olive oil searches.
Duckduckgo beats both of them in layout IMO and provides same quality searches.
Doesn't Microsoft own like 2% of facebook? Given that, this isn't really surprising








My prediction threads:
Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)
PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)
Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

No "crying foul" here. I just don't like Bing and I sure as hell dont' want Microsoft having access to my Facebook profile and email....etc. I already get weekly Xbox live emails which I have no idea how to remove them.
Long Story Short, I don't like Bing. The End.

@ bolded, I am 100% guilty of this.
Also, the rest of this post makes me realize that I too should be using multiple search engines because there are times when I'm pretty disappointed with the results. Hey would you mind giving me some more details on when you use who and why. I mean you don't have to reveal anything uncomfortable (like who to use to find out how to best jerk-off a dog) and you can send me a PM if you'd like. Your post just made me realize how much of a noob I've been for so long, thanks. |
I would be glad to share my personal methodology. I personally use a tiered approach. Which isn't a topic based approach, but which engine will most likely get the job done. Based on three criteria, and those are rarity, reliability, and specificity. Rarity refers to how common the information is. Reliability is about how reputable the sources provided will be. Specifity refers to your scope of inquiry.
I personally use five tiers. The top tier is for the easiest searches to run. While the bottom tier is reserved for next to impossible results, and thus information that is near impossible to find. For the first tier Yahoo, Bing, and Google are the best search engines. When specificity and rarity aren't the major concerns. Then the only thing that matters is how reputable the links that will be provided are. These search engines almost always produce the highest quality credible source. You ideally want to be getting whatever it is from say the Wall Street Journal rather then a hobbyist blog.
Tier two is where you need to exclude some common search results, because they are too broad for your purposes. For this you need advanced options that will still get you the most reputable sources, but will also allow you to pass over more general results. I find that Yahoo is the best, because it has advanced options that will allow you to exclude specific wording.
Tier three is where you are looking for specific wording, or have a very specific question that you want to get answered. You want a search engine that has the advanced options that will allow you to do this. Which means Yahoo is preferrable. It not only has the options to let you do the search yourself, but if you want to present it in the form of a question. Chances are that Yahoo Answers may have the answer, and sometimes the respondents on those will provide links to follow to a reasonable source for the information. This here is like the best advice I can give you. This tool is incredibly effective at cutting down on leg work.
Tier four is where you are looking for older information that was time specific, or relevant to the time it was written. Which may be upwards of a decade ago, and Yahoo, Bing, and Google are far too relevant, far to recent, and not nearly weildy enough to do the job. These search engines only look for dates in the whole body of a site, and those dates aren't necessarily connected to the subject you are trying to get at. For these kinds of searches you need search engines like Lycos or Ask. They are more apt to give you a specific page that contains both pieces of information. So it is easier to data mine in old forums, abandoned blogs, and disused archives.
Tier five searches are actually blind searches. You know the information you need is probably obscure, outdated, or currently irrelevant. You need to create a general understanding to refine your search. The top tier engines will give you the best information initially, because the sources they will provide are almost always the best even if they aren't specific, and once you use them to get a working framework of knowledge and terminology. Then you can go into the lower tiers to find data in the raw. Which could be used to refine your searches enough in top tier engines which might find you a site that is currently supported.
Anyway you shouldn't think in terms of best. You should think of search engines as different tools for different jobs.
Bing and Google results are the same shit to me aswell... no difference.
For Maps both suck... Nokia maps are the best maps out there and i hope bing maps are replaced by Nokia Maps soon enough.
S.S.D.N - Same Shit Different Name
@ Doece, thank you so much for taking the time and effort for all of that very useful information.
Smart internet people FTW!!!
I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.
