So risking selection bias I've just performed 5 identical searches with Google and Bing. One was so-so, and the other four were clearly better with Google. I'll see if I can set up my own blind tasting with Google, Bing, and DDG, but it's not looking good for Bing. It will be interesting to see if the blind version gives different results.
I tried, but Bing really didn't give me results that were more germaine to what I was looking for. While it wasn't quite as bad as Cuil, it still wasn't great. I switched to DDG a while back and have been much much happier.
Am I missing something?
