Bing hasn't impressed me at all. I don't really see how it's a true "decision engine". I put it to the test vs. Google the other day, after seeing that silly commercial 25 times in a row.
I was watching a show where I heard Canadians using the word "coolie" (sp?), which from what I gathered is a local word for these large cliff-like hills or something. So, I decided to look it up on Google and Bing, and see which one gave better results. I knew it would be a good test, because the word is sort of obscure. So, I tried both search engines, using different queries like:
"What is a "coolie"? Canada local slang"
"coolie canadian wilderness"
...and so on...
Each search engine did the same thing every time:
"Did you mean
"cookies"?
And then gave me a billion websites about Canadian cookies and unrelated garbage. Honestly, lol. It even highlighted the word "cookies", as if that was really my search term. I guess it IS a decision engine; it made the decision FOR me, rather than deciding what
I wanted, lol. Google did the exact same thing. Was never able to find out what the word *really* means. So I don't think it's any better than Google, if at all. I've had similar results with other search terms. I tried searching for blueprints of firearms, and got a bunch of bogus results, for instance. So, yeah... Looks like there's no such thing as a *SMART* "decision engine"....
Btw, if any Canadians are around, please tell me wtf a damned "coolie" is. Hope I spelled that right. I think it's some sort of geological feature in the "badlands", sort of like a hilly cliff or something. But I want to know what it really is. Thanks for nothing Google and your clone, Bing!
