Does anybody know in some countries like India , china, the bing results are strictly filtered, like no porn , or offensive material.
I typed Heidi Klum Lingerie, & it says the following:-

"The search 'heidi klum lingerie' may return explicit adult content and has been filtered by your Bing SafeSearch settings. Your country or region requires a strict Bing SafeSearch setting, which filters out results that might return adult content. To learn more about SafeSearch requirements in your country or region see this help topic.

I love how your top 5 reasons Bing sucks is actually 7 reasons. Like it's hard to just pick five.

I did a bing search of why does bing suck, and the #6 answer was "why does it suck being gay?" The answer above that was about the game Halo 3.

Seriously Microsuck, step up your game or quit while you're ahead.

I have been using Bing for the last 4 months and I've about had it, I'm going back to Google. Bing is just inferior in so many ways.

First and foremost, for relevancy, there's no comparison. I would type search words into Bing and not find my answer. Pop over to Google, paste in same searchwords and find my answer in the first three listings. And most of the time it was, as you noted, nothing more difficult than hitting wikipedia first.

Bing's map functionality is a joke. After the first few attempts I didn't even bother trying anymore. Google maps is simply a billion percent better.

With Bing, if you type in a web search and then realize you meant an image search, you have to retype the search topic again. Wow, how fucking brain dead is that?

So while I'm not happy with Google's stranglehold on the internet, until MS gets its act together I'm back to Google.

Bing is crap! I'm not a big one for marketing and names and all that stuff so I couldn't really care about the name "Bing" In fact, it sounds ok to me... But I don't have a gripe with the glitzy naming or promotion, what I care about is what's under the bonnet... And quite frankly, it is garbage!

Every website I create get's instantly indexed in both Google and Yahoo, yet never gets indexed in Bing until I shout and scream in their community forums and Brett Yount manually adds it!

How do they expect to be successful with this type of activity... And all the forum experts say "focus on building quality backlinks" - bullshit! I'm not asking to be number one...I'm asking to be indexed... a process that Yahoo and Google have no problem doing...I will focus on backlinks in my efforts to be at the top of the SERPs but that is secondary to just being listed!

Think about it, a small business owner who is focussing energy on a website (growing numbers of businesses focussing efforts online)...
I have a website and Bing doesn't index it...
1. I'm never going to use Bing because it won't list my site
2. I'm never going to tell anyone else to use Bing because they wont find me there

They're shooting themselves in the foot by making getting listed so difficult!

There is clearly a major issue with their index and it either can't keep up or is very buggy... What's even worse is I have seen in my logs that the MSN Bot has visited my site 5-6 times... And I still can't get listed... So in other words, it knows I exist, it has crawled my site, yet it still won't list me...

Boo Bing!

Bing is exactly what it is in chinese!! A disease!!
It contaminated my Firefox Browser obligating me to use it!!
But I finaly found the cure for Bing. Now my Firefox is healthy again.
Bing is nothing more than a virus from microshit.
If anyone have that Bing bar disease on firefox please don't blame that on Firefox, its not firefox that is obligating people to use bing, Its Micro$oft that sent that virus.

It happened to me too!!! Bing is pretty much a virus from Microsoft They have chosen the perfect name for it: Bing (disease in chinese). Also its not the first time Micro$oft tries to obligate people to use their products, several years ago Micro$oft obligated a company to install Internet Explorer on their computers and got processed.

I hate bing's search also compared to google.
when searching with bing, a lot of unrelated junk I don't care for pops up. for example I searched for something about the superbowl on google and brought up the one we just had. I searched on bing and something about the 2004 superbowl came up as the first 5 results. whaat?

Bing just does not compare to Google!!!
Whenever I type what i'm looking for into google I get it, with Bing the relevant topic doesn't even come up most of the time!!!
Bing does suck and I won't use it. Just get rid of it as no one I know uses it.

i agree, but when you click on the link named “Ben Franklin Inventions”, you will still likely get a list of what Ben Franklin invented, which would answer the question. The same would also go for “Top selling album all time” and “Einstein Wife”. And this doesn't seem to always work with bing.

does anybody at MS read this shit so they know how bad we hate bing? I have bing'ed “why does bing suck” and other variations of that query many times, and I was just hoping that somebody was tracking that.

Couldn't agree with this article more. I decided to try Bing for a month when it came out and I could only make it through two weeks before changing my default search engine back to Google. I found that the screen didn't even scroll smoothly when I was searching. I assume it had something to do with the endless search results thing, but it made it hard to track where I was on the page. And that was in Microsoft's own browser.

They should have never got rid of Ms. Dewey. The search results were horrible, but at least she was fun to watch. Bing Blows.

I agree with much of this post. Bing has been a running gag literally for awhile now. Its even worse for webmasters, a visit to the Bing community blog shows hundreds of webmasters asking why their site or blog won't get indexed, and the answers to those questions leave a lot to be desired. It almost seems the Bing folks do not have a clue at all. There is no way on earth Bing will have a prayer of truly competing with Google the way it is right now.

Bing to me is the garbage Windows Live Search with a new interface that really isn't all that pretty at all. I think a better decision could be made with Google or even Yahoo for that matter. Atleast Yahoo searches are actually relevant most of the time. Yahoo isn't as good as Google, however Yahoo is probably Google's closest real competitor.

By: RandomBandit

RandomBandit — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 22:47:20 +0000

When I do a search I find relevance to be more…well…relevant, than the “Oooh, pretty” factor. As long as the interface is manageable I can forgive quite a bit.

Bing sucks because they do not give good answers for the thing that you type into the search engine. They also suck because they are a very crappy search engine.

Before google there were metacrawler, altavista (by ibm and digital), etc.

And that's when the true “SEARCH ENGINE” enter in the game, regular people don't have to learn meta tags or search hacks to get what they want, Live-search or bing is not so good even with basic stuff (at least if you don't get the exact term you want you get the most popular which could be linked to what you want), for me it's like a treat to make people fill relevance search tendencies for marketing databases, and judging by the way microsoft is incorporating (or buying) content for this engine i feel like they're crafting a B2B platform (…and later we'll see microsoft opening their own MAmazone or ME-Bay).

I can get a higher probability in google with misspelled or unknown therms than bing or even altavista (for power searching i still use metacrawler), these loosely search technique is important because the language is evolving (or crapping, anyway the language is changing) because the marketing campaigns keeps making horrible word jokes popular and the chats are not helping with it neither (u know the kind off wrdz the kidz luv 2 say, lol, etc), so i can get the corrected version from google for the search “Criztoval colo” to get “Cristobal colón”, maybe if microsoft uses their office ortogrpahic corrector, but that would sound malicious like microsoft marketing their own anti-virus or selling licensed partner's products as their own (it's just not ethical).

Google is great because it's a WHITE page with Google written on it. It is able to use a complex mathematical system of links and keywords to find what you type in. With Bing, you have some fancy picture homepage that is different every time and results that are the opposite of what you need! Ever heard “keep it simple?” Go Google!
