Could you please care to share couple of searches that you found were messed up in Bing. My experience so far has been very positive and I wonder why google failed to innovate Search UI , travel etc.

I find it comical that a few months ago, people were like “Bing sucks! noobs!111″ – now it’s being revealed each and everyday that Bing is a solid search engine.

It’s amazing what lengths people go to in the name of fanboyism, isn’t it?

I want my data from a source that has little to gain and has a large contributor base too; this report is about 1% (maybe) of the total internet surfing activity, and is valueless in calculating anything really.

If you’ve actually upgraded to IE8 yourself you will probably realize that the upgrade process does not touch your search provider settings.

If your search provider was set to Google before the upgrade, it will still be Google after the upgrade.

The uptick in Bing users is likely organic growth due to either a good product or a good marketing campaign.

Bing has been partnering quite well especially in the recruitment domain with Payscale and Careerbuilder.

They have a better chance to integrate with Facebook than Google. For MS Bing is just another albeit important product, they can integrate with various niche search providers.

For Google search is the brand, they cannot allow too much data credited to other search providers as it dilutes their brand. And they need to push ads, MS does not or can go easy on that front as they have a diversified revenue stream.

I am not sure how this will play out, but MS has some cards on its side.

C’mon guys. Haven’t you noticed that everyone on Windows XP or Vista (almost everyone) is being asked to upgrade to IE 8? I’d guess that most of those new Bing users are people upgrading to IE 8 and getting Bing as the default search provider. Live Search probably saw a similar bump when Microsoft used it’s Windows Update functionality as free advertising and almost forced adoption of IE 7. It’s just another example of Microsoft leveraging it’s operating system advantage to promote it’s browser and online services.

looks like something is really ODD!!! You guys should dig more deeper to let us know what/how their method is used to collect data and come up with these results?

@”Update: as a commenter points out, judging by the graph Yahoo Search is holding quite steady while Google seems to mirror Bing’s market share evolution. Check it out:”

It seems to me questionable about the truthfulness of the data. It looks like people are moving from Google to Bing but not from yahoo to Bing…hmm… something is really odd here?

May be you people who claim changed your default search to Bing, I am sure you have been spending a bit more time to find what you need in most of your search attempts….

I tried some time your way and finally abandoned Bing for good as I found my self tweaking search phrases or moving to second and third pages of results… On the other hand Google with no tweaking of search phrases, I get satisfactory result on the first page!
