Google vs Bing
-
Has anyone ever notice when searching for programming info, Google shows a lot more things than Bing. It is kind of like Microsoft is editing the results and guiding you to the answers they want. Google answers seem more random (not sure of the right word). Not sure if it is good or bad. Non computer questions and non health searches seem to give the same random results. On health maters Google seems to be guiding you to ????
So many years of programming I have forgotten more languages than I know.

Any study on Google vs Bing vs DuckDuckGo?
Google vs Bing vs DuckDuckGo - Google Search[^] Google vs Bing vs DuckDuckGo - Bing[^] Google vs Bing vs DuckDuckGo at DuckDuckGo[^] Bing found more results, but the look less relevant. DDG found about the same as google, but it's page is harder to read, with a smaller, greyer font.

Definitely. I have no need to give either Google or Microsoft any more of my data than they already have.

Yes, I'm aware that zoom exists. But ... Why should I have to change the zoom level, when everything else on my system uses the same value and is readable? That's putting "different" above "usable" in the priorities list.

Friends don't let friends use Bing. So whatever you do, just don't Bing it! (also, if you are really interested in usable results from a search on the interwebs, don't use DuckDuckNoGo...)

I use duckduckgo, and it shows everything that's relevant. What google shows more are ads and irrelevant links from sites that somehow game the rating system (or did $omething el$e to make Google show them on top :suss: )
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

Default search is DDG. Once got upset on stupid results, went to Google with same search term, first page was exactly what DDG gave...

I'm using the new Microsoft Edge witch defaults to Bing so I left it alone. The other day, I was searching and couldn't find what I was looking for. So I tried Google. It did no better.
