‘Google has no equals' - Bing, unimpressed

Even with the loads of hype encompassing Bing, Microsoft's latest search engine, experts are saying that it is not better than internet mainstay, Google.

Mark Mahaney of Citigroup tested Bing out while comparing it against the other leading search engines namely Yahoo! and Google, reported AllThingsDigital.com.

The expert found that for the bulk of his testing, that Google returned more relevant results than those found by Bing.

In searching seven out of ten searches sent, Google was either more accurate or tied with Yahoo! or Bing.

Mr. Mahoney also found that Bing only returned accurate results nearly 45 per cent of the entire testing.

In defense of Bing, AllThingsDigital.com reported that the overall results are improving swiftly.

In their findings, they noted that the search engine is still relatively new and has only been available for around a month, and as users search more, the relevancy will increase.

"The criticism is almost unwarranted because Bing does better for at least two types of searches: travel and health. If a person wanted to book a holiday, or perhaps one picked up a nasty rash on that recent trip, I would advise to start Binging before Googleing," the online portal reviewed.

Search engine marketers are more apt to keep their attention turned to Google, while website traffic analyzing firm StatCounter Global Stats discovered that Google has an enormous 78.51 per cent market share.
