I've been trying MS out for a couple weeks. The default search results are very good - i.e., you get what your search terms asked for, near the top - something the better-known sites are getting worse at, as they try to be all things to all people ... and in the process second-guessing or just ignoring carefully chosen terms.

At times "removing the top sites" helps drill down into more obscure sources ... still unsure about the intent there.

I think the intent would be to filter out SEO spam essentially, and get you a small primary-source website. Like searching for "san francisco restaurants" gets you some much more interesting results on MS than on Google.
