Bing is soooo bad
-
I've been using Edge because theoretically the memory footprint is smaller than Chrome, but whatever...and of course the default search engine is Bing. > 50% of the time I get garbage results. I just now asked "what is an address half code" as I see it in some public voter data I'm working with. Bing gives me shyte answers. Open up Google and I get reasonable explanations in the first couple of links returned by the search engine. When Microsoft says:

they lie! They LIE! Just changed the default search engine in Edge. Bye-bye Bing!

Meh. I installed Edge when it RTMed and never bothered changing the default search engine. I still find what I'm after without going to Google 95+% of the time.
Same! :) But.. they are after Marc! :laugh:

Create a Digital Ocean Droplet for .NET Core Web API with a real SSL Certificate on a DomainI've used Bing once. Got a new tablet with Bing as default search engine. I was playing Final Fantasy VI and needed some help with a boss or something. I searched for "ffvi [boss name]" and I got no relevant pages :wtf: FFVI is one of the most popular games ever AND IT FOUND NOTHING RELEVANT! :wtf: :omg: Google gave me tons of relevant pages. Needless to say I've never used Bing since.

And when was that? A tablet with Bing as the default search engine? A few years at least. Give it another go. It's not as bad as people seem to remember it.

Create a Digital Ocean Droplet for .NET Core Web API with a real SSL Certificate on a DomainCan I tag on this question only because we are talking about search engines. I switched to Firefox with DuckDuckGo about a month ago. Seemed OK the duck yields less precise results when searching for Net.VB code questions. The REAL BIG irritation I am seeing is Japanese characters in the Search Text Box. I have Firefox set to clear history whrn I close the application. I do not use book marks I wrote a small Net.VB application to open favorite websites. I have tried to clear cache and site data but it still happens at times.

Create a Digital Ocean Droplet for .NET Core Web API with a real SSL Certificate on a DomainI understand. I use DuckDuckGo and BraveSearch as my primary search engines, because BING Might Lie, but Google Misdirects! And we have to start somewhere to de-throne them. I also realize why they gave up on their old Motto: "Don't Be Evil"... They just couldn't help it! Sometimes, about 10% or so, I am forced to check Google. For both of my parents Obituaries, Google found them. Others did not. That said, I don't use bing. I was never a fan, and jumping off of Google to Land on MSFT feels like cutting of my nose to spite my face. As I hear Windows 11 is going to CONSIDER Ads playing in File Explorer... OMG, say it isn't so! Starting to really pickup linux these days! LOL
