So far as I can tell it's just like Google except when it doesn't work as well. The way the image search results are displayed is clunky (and didn't work at all the first time I tried it). I can't see that it does anything that would make me want to switch from Google.

Searched for "Microsoft Bing" in Bing itself and check out the results[^]. None of the result is bing.com. :laugh: If Bing replaces Google, imagine the posts in the programming forums: "I Binged a lot but can't find the solution." "Why don't you Bing it?" "A bit of binging will surely give you the code you are looking for." "Is Bing broken?" :laugh:

Nah, not for me - yet. To beat google you have to be better than google, offer something different. At the moment, that's just a 'google-wannabe', like that culi thing a while back. Or cool, or cuil or whatever it was called. Microsoft under-estimated search for too long and are now paying the price me thinks. :)

I quite like the little page preview thingy at the right side of every result. In terms of accessibility design though it's not obviously discoverable, you have to move you mouse over the little line/ball graphic. I'm unsure about the image on the main page. I'm not quite sure what it's trying to convey. It's just a photo of a seaside town. I think they would be better off with something more abstract. Good luck to them though, variety is the spice of life and all that.

You type in the search engine address? I've been using some kind of search box in the web browser for as far as I can remember - in FireFox there's one just to the right of the address bar which can be set to use whatever search engine you want and I thought IE had something similar these days.

The little pop-ups on the right are quite slick. However, I can't see anything here that makes me think this is miles better than Live Search. I'll probably try it for a bit out of curiosity as I have a couple of one-click Firefox extensions that make it easy to switch to it from a Google search without having to retype the search terms.

I don't even do that half the time, a good portion of the time if you type in what you want, like a search query into the address bar, it will just redirect you to a relevant result, maybe the first Google search result? I'm not sure, but it saves another precious 10 seconds :laugh:

I've added keyword search to my Fx installation, so I just type "msdn system.string", and it searches MSDN; I've got a similar arrangement with Google, Wikipedia, Wolfram|Alpha, Bing and Google Maps. It's a great time-saver

It's fine, until I searched for the letter b and Bing showed a page about Chlamydia as the first result :|

I like this too - had the same problems as you though in finding it... But I will give it a try, getting bored with google anyway.

Does that in the UK version but not in the US one.

I want my Live Search back. I don't want "features"; I just want to frickin' search.

:omg: :wtf: bing.com is blocked here at work. Oh well, it would take something extremely special to replace google for me anyway.
