I still see Bing regularly come up with lousy search results. The other day I did a Bing search for "FM100-6", and none of the top 10 hits were relevant: http://www.bing.com/search?q=FM100-6&go=&form=QBLH&#.... Google, on the other hand, had exactly what I was looking for in the all of the top 5: https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=FM10...

This happened frequently when I tried using Bing exclusively.

Interesting that for FM100.6 Bing algorithm ranks 100.6 more relevant than the literal 100-6, almost as if it doesn't know what to do with the "-" character. Using "Field Manual" instead of "FM" gives results closer to what you were looking for.
