If you are allowed. My work machine is locked into bing. I can bookmark google.com or duckduckgo.com but default/quick searches go through bing. (Google.com redirects to google.ca which drives me crazy sometimes.) I'd bet the majority of bing traffic comes from such workplaces.

If you want to use google.com without being redirected for some reason, you can use www.google.com/ncr (No country redirect).

Why won't it work for other locations?

www.google.de/ncr results in an error.

Perhaps the German equivalent is "keinlandumleitenbittemöchteGoogleindiesemlandverwenden" or www.google.de/k ?

Wow nice tip I never knew that.

[CoryG89]

Ha, I don't know if I could handle that. Would be at the top of my list of reasons to look for another job.

I'd agree with you on that bet. I stumbled onto that revelation when I was running PPC campaigns for B2B software. Bing is a hidden goldmine when it comes to that demographic, thanks to the captive market and the fact that essentially all marketing agencies blatantly ignore Bing's existence so there's no keyword competition.

If you can, sign up for Bing rewards and earn points while you search. You can use those points in exchange for entering competitions or Microsoft/Windows devices and Xbox gift cards.

Lol. I dont touch any MS products outside of work, and certainly dont want to sign up for anything MS-related. I'm and oldschool linux guy who still sees MS as the big evil. It will take them at least 20 more years before i trust them with anything.

And I don't like Bing and Edge Rewards and don't think they are a good idea either.

[mcbits]

The maximum daily points add up to around $5/month. A little more if I used Windows and Edge, but it's not worth taking it that far. I just participate because I would love to see other sites adopt the concept and start a bidding war. Why wait around for politicians to figure out UBI?

I'm 100% with sandworm.
