    Went from Altavista to Google a few years back. Find Google good for custom search words ("not", "-", "inurl").

    I've never actually used bing to be perfectly honest. Its one of these things I forget exists until I hear about it a couple times a year.

    I have never found anything I've needed on Bing. It's fcking awful.

    Whenever I'm on technet or any microsoft site, the built-in search engine never finds what I need. I have to do a google advanced search which always works for me.


    +1 on how pathetic Microsoft are to aggressively impose the search engine in every possible way. Google would never ever need to do this:

    There's a reason people "Google" stuff as opposed to "Bing".

    Binging doesn't have the same ring to it.

    I google Bing to see what the story is with it, these days :pac:

    Anyways, Google is the quickest way to find out if your network is down!

    Bing is built into the windows phone and it's just nowhere near as good as google. I just did a serch on bing there and it comes back with totally irrelevant results. It's like an old school serch engine bringing results from all over the world when your really looking for something local.

    At the same time you wonder if google is being too suggestive.

    Which might have had more success if they'd picked a name that you could remember without having to google it.

    It's in vogue in the Hawaiian police department, if those shameless product placements are to be believed.

    I used to go online using a Sega Dreamcast. Excite was the default search engine. I'm amazed it's still going. http://www.excite.com/

    am a microsoftarian; sort of like a vegitarian but instead of not eating meat am against microsoft claptrap.
    will probably never change from google-not for a very long time,though used to use lycos years ago to back in the olden days.

    same here,mmmmmmm, the delightful frustration of the dream key cd deciding to randomly fail when it wants,and then the god awful twenty six k modem.... still,some forums loaded on it,the sega europe forum that was accessible from it with all the VMU uploads was pretty awesome,cant ever remember using excite.
