I have been with Bing for ever just coz of their rewards, at one time money was free flowing, now is 1/3 cents per search... but I still use it, get $5 amazon every month more or less..

Google - 3
Bing - 0
Draw - 2

Its funny because I genuinely couldn't tell which was which, it was completely blind and obviously bing sucks.

I chose bing twice and google three times. Though each time I was drawn to google was usually strictly a formatting difference; like they have a nice little boxscore display when looking up a sports team and they give videos higher priority in their results which usually is enticing.

Google 3
Draw 2

I used some pretty specific searches that I had trouble with in the past, ie. low number of quality matches.

I've always used Google and never even thought to change, but I got 1 Draw and 4 Bings.

Well, at least when you turn off the nanny filters you get what you are looking for in Bing, but Google is still nanny-tized.

Google ADVANCED Search, FTW.
When I search, I want "The exact words" or nothing, not 2K pages with every single word pertaining to my search query.

(Used to use "MSN Advanced Search" until it died, would try Bing Advanced Search if it existed.)
