Bing? Google? Who cares, if it works? Rated 3 out of 5 stars

by AJR and AGC on October 22, 2016 ·

I'm really bored with the Microsoft bashing that plagues every tech discussion. Typically, the negative input seem to have been written by angry teenagers, who expect anything they download to do whatever they want, right now, even if that isn't what the app is for. They have tantrums over any problem, don't want to read directions, don't look for solutions, and never check to see if they did something wrong themselves. Most tedious of all are the old-school MacNazis and fan-bores, who ritually hate anything Microsoft, regardless of quality, and who are all about image and fashion, not about getting their homework finished.

So please allow me to interrupt the babble-stream to say that this app has worked perfectly well for me for years, does exactly what it is advertised as doing, only has installation problems when it conflicts with updates or other apps, and suffers only from a need to be replaced soon with a more up-to-date version, which is unlikely, given the chorus of haters who automatically one-star anything MS does.

As for Bing itself, it is, overall, about as good as Google, but it works differently. Doing a single search and getting better results with Google is not a valid experiment, any more than a single Bing search proves anything. Any experienced app-user knows that you have to learn how to do things properly, and trying to Google-search on Bing won't work. It isn't a one-size-fits-all instant-gratification Apple app; it's an integrated facet of a comprehensive desktop/cloud suite, and I'm deeply sorry if it doesn't find the celebrity/porn/gaming/click-bait websites you care about.

Bing has its weaknesses and flaws, and is much younger than Google, which means that there is more fine-tuning required in the search algorithms. At the same time, it has a fresher, modernized, cloud-friendly design, and has an excellent and well-documented API.

I recommend this extension for Windows/*nix FF users who care more about doing useful work, than about what goes well with a latte. Ignore the haters.

Good Search Engine Rated 5 out of 5 stars

by 88MPH on June 2, 2016 ·

There was a time years ago when I moved my relatives to Google and I, too, was a huge fan of their search.

Times change. Technology is ever-evolving. Bing has been my default search engine for nearly 3 years now, and I've watched Google copy Bing's designs over these past three years. Bing still does it better.

Some of the more zealot people will laugh, mock, and behave generally immaturely but their actions speak for themselves.

I've been building computers for over 20 years and I am accustomed to adapting to advances in technology. I am not a follower of particular companies, I am more than willing to switch to better services. While Google's search engine has its uses, Bing is the search service that I recommend as most people's default search engine.

It works, it does it's intended job, but it's a typical, made by Micro$oft product.

No matter how many times you set it to NOT to be the 1st (ergo default) choice in the search field, it does reset itself to 1st on every browser restart.
Annoying.

I think BING is great. The best search engine around. I think it is suicide for the Open Source community to continue with anti-MSFT bashing meme. The information gigoloogle is EVIL beyond comprehension! Mozilla please, stop this madness and put Bing as default option on Firefox.
Great work!

i think it is annoying and wish i could get rid of it. it is as bad or worse than a virus, it takes over your searches and makes itself the primary search platform with all kinds of bloat..

Bing News aids plagiarism Rated 1 out of 5 stars

by geneb on November 10, 2011 ·

Bing's selection of supposed news outlets sucks. It uses "zimbio.com" which apparently lets just anyone post its "news." This may well include articles copy/pasted from legit news sites.

I absolutely loved Firefox Mozilla prior to the addition of Bing. My favorite search engine is Google. Google search does everything Bing, AND gives additional results, (usually the one I am looking for and Bing did not find). PROBLEM: When I use the primary search bar in the middle of the page with Google set as my search engine, BING becomes the search engine. BING SUCKS!!!! The way Bing is written in to the Firefox program, I have to believe the good reviews here are from a Bing automated system to build credibility. If I can not remove Bing from Mozilla Firefox, I may have to change.
