Two cases where Google beats Bing
I've been using Bing a lot and I think it's as good as Google, and stuff like Image Search is better. Crucially, the results are good and the results come up fast.
But Google has two edges that I've discovered
- when you mis-spell and Bing finds junk, Google seems to know you have a weird search term and automatically presents results for a better, adjacent, hit-rich search term. Usually the right one. Try "Peeek email"
- when the news is really really new like a story I just saw on the brand "Trands" which is a Chinese suitmaker. Google has the WSJ story and a bunch of blog entries. Bing thought I meant "trends"... Irony.
