Or you can just fake that you are in US or Canada. Here[^]. Care to try?

Not the link, obviously, that just leads to bing. The redirect url www.bingiton.com is registered to MarkMonitor[^] which specialises in brand protection. I could understand what they are doing as part of a marketing exercise, but not as brand protection. If MS have not engaged them it is a bit poacher-turned-gamekeeper, if MS did then it's an odd move.

a study using a representative online sample of nearly 1000 people, ages 18 and older from across the US. The participants were chosen from a random survey panel and were required to have used a major search engine in the past month.
Well, at least they were very thorough.

– with all branding removed from both search engines. The test did not include ads or content in other parts of the page such as Bing’s Snapshot and Social Search panes and Google’s Knowledge Graph
It doesn't matter how good your product is, it's not very useful to compare it without the UX. Study details[^]
If it moves, compile it

This was my problem with the test as well. I was getting good results in both windows, but when I've used Bing in the past, the UX put me off.

Oh, that makes more sense then. Perhaps the OP should have posted when more users from the US are active. I've had a look through a US proxy, it still looks more like a marketing exercise than brand protection.

Bing will never, ever, ever have a chance until they change their name. "Have you Googled it?" is nonsensical but inoffensive. "Have you Bing'd it?" makes me want to conjugate the "Bing" to "Bang", and always conjures up visions of Chandler Bing from Friends. It's just an awkward and trite name.

Yeah, well, I gave up using Google when I once looked up Glomerulonephritis, which my wife told me one her friends had. The first five results were for folks, including Amazon, recommending that I buy Glomerulonephritis from them. :wtf:

Tried it before, Google won every time. Same for the friends I've shown it to. They say Bing wins more often, but I haven't seen it once...must be in the wrong demographic? :doh:

I suspect use of a Bong when coming up with the name. It's Bing Bong.
I was brought up to respect my elders. I don't respect many people nowadays.

I assume, by they, that you mean Microsoft.

I tried it... I immediately typed in "Serpentooth" (See my signature)... The results on the left showed exactly what I wanted, and the results on the right turned it into "Serpent's Tooth" and gave me a variety of different sorts of crap I couldn't care less about. Three guesses which one was which... No desire to proceed to search #2. Microsoft should really stick to making game consoles, IDEs, and alternately-good-and-bad operating systems. The rest, we can do without.
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?
