hmmm'Google dominates but Bing is challenging, and Yahoo and Microsoft are left in the dust.'
Clearly the Guardian's reputation for detailed, exhaustive research is well-founded, given that Microsoft own and run Bing. All praise the Guardian!

Good work, Grauniad.I tried using Bing and it just seems dreadful. If I'm after something a little more specific than pictures of kittens it doesn't find anything.
I tried searching for some academic papers on there a while ago, for example. Full title (no quotes) in the search bar and it returns some page that includes all of those words in a different order. Same thing in Google and the first result is the paper, the second is another prominent paper that cites the first.
So. That's that then.

i never even tried itgoogle is a horrible corporate whore. expecting a massive multinational company to be less of a corporate whore than google, while simultaneously providing better search, struck me as a bit optimistic.
i also heard that bing sucked donkey balls. i'm glad to hear that this is true.
