I started using Windows 8 a couple days ago and decided to try out IE 10 and Bing for a little while to see how it compares to my normal Chrome/Google search experience. I decided to end that experiment this morning. I actually like IE 10 and Bing is alright, but the issue is that for complex tech queries, I still get far better results on Google. I thought at first I wouldn't notice, but almost immediately I had to start entering searches in Google after they didn't work out to my liking in Bing.
In my experience, it's not that Bing has bad results. Rather, the results aren't so much better that they justify switching from Google.<p>On the other hand, I've found that the Bing search ads I've run for my software product convert better than my AdWords search ads. Maybe Bing users are more likely to spend money?
I don't think this comparison is reasonable because the size of index at google is much larger than bing's. For some simple just for test queries, bing's results may seem to be better but in the real world a much larger index is much much more important.
