I moved to Bing a couple of months back and I do the opposite, i.e. turn to Google when I can't find what I'm looking for in Bing. On avg I'd say it's ~5% of the times for generic searches, ~10% for more technical stuff. Used to be much worse, and I disliked the UI very much while now I think it's on par with Google (both G and B have their pros/cons). I kind of like that they finally added News (I was using Google a lot as a newspaper) and that you can switch tabs and use it as a portal, while Google doesn't show any content until you start searching for something, which I'm not saying it's wrong, but sometimes I start browsing directly from Bing homepage if I like what it's suggesting, which never happens with Google. One thing they need to fix is the mobile app on Android though, because it's unusable, it keeps crashing and I've almost given up there.

I do this too, especially when Google insists it knows my question better than I do. I'll actually Google the word "bing" in this case.

It feels like a vote of no confidence. I would be absolutely shocked if Google's algorithm doesn't have a special alarm bell for "2 dozen search query redefinitions and then they typed fucking 'Bing' into me."

Bingo - but seriously, I tried this too, I now use DDG, then Google and if I can't find what I'm looking for on either I tweet about it or write a blog post.

We are all the same boat..lol
