Comment on Dawn of a new era in Search: Balancing innovation, competition, and public good

Comments

Apple has stated that Bing does not match Google’s search result quality, and they are unwilling to compromise on user experience by offering subpar results.

I wouldn't take this statement at face value. This is most likely a BS PR excuse for Apple to maintain their current deal with Google. I wouldn't expect anything less from any large corporation looking to protect $20 billion in annual revenue.

Universally every single time I've used bing, including this week. My response was to scroll through the entire first oage of results, swear, open google and with the exact same search params what I wanted was the first result.

Bing is objectively worse.

Maybe Bing is managed by the same people that haven't managed to get Windows search right despite trying for many, many years?

Use DDG (Bing), append `!g` after you get nothing and search again? Do this with many many different `!`.

Last I tried at least:

- Current Google was bad compared to original Google (it ignores my keywords, even if I use doublequotes and verbatim)

- DuckDuckGo and Bing managed to be worse

- Kagi is like old Google
