> Bing still sucks

If I were to form a search habit today I don't think I would grade Bing lower than Google.

Google has gotten way worse and Bing way better.

Bing seems to respect the user's querries more too.

Try Yandex next time.

It searches exactly what you look for, and has no 'removed for piracy' search deindexes.

Power of not being within reach of the US copyright cartel. (Bought by being in the grasp of another, even worse one.)
And?

At least our information won't easily cross those territorial boundaries.

and their reverse image search is way better
I'm angry that I have to agree here. I use DDG and Bing primarily and Google as a fallback. Increasingly since I started doing so, Google's results were just as bad as what DDG or Bing would provide. I've downright given up on trying to search certain things because I know exactly how search engines will misinterpret what I'm asking for no matter how much I clarify because the thing they try to find is more popular (in terms of number of results) than what I'm actually asking for.
