Re: Bing vs Google TAKEDOWN!

I did it and every time Google won, 5-0.

If bing is trying to show something here, they're failing miserably.


If you want something to do while Scratch is down, check out tbgs.tk! It's the new version of the (closed) Scratch TBGS, run by Scratchers! I'm going to spend most of my time there, anyway.

Actually it wouldn't

The problem with this test in the first place is that you are being pressed to search for five things when you don't even need to. Searching for something relevant to you is much more likely to be won by Google.

The creepy search tracking Google does is ultimately helpful. When I used DuckDuckGo for quite a while, I almost defaulted to !g. None of the results were particularly close to what I wanted, even if they were similar to the search. This problem is more or less non-existent with google.

I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

care to do a test? I've actually found duckduckgo much more relevant.

http://coders-shed.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=238 << not when you search a lot of one thing.

Okay, fair enough. Everyone has their own preferred search engine.

Here I searched for "where was Bill Gates born" (That was the only thing I searched for because it took forever to pull up the Google result.)
Bing easily won.

Second time Google got 4 right and there was one tie.
