Bing is really reasonable for dev search results. Honestly not sure if the people bashing it have ever tried it for that purpose.

- simlevesque 10y agoI bet the MS employee has tried it for that purpose. He still uses Google at work.
- seanmcdirmid 10y agoI'm a researcher, Google still has benefits in that area. For dev, Bing brings up about the same information that Google does. And it is hard to tell the difference these days. I also resent not being able to use google at home, so I like using it at work.
- tluyben2 10y ago> And it is hard to tell the difference these days. For dev results or? Because that's simply not true. Try finding things like knitting/wool shops in Shanghai on the Chinese Bing and on Google. You won't be getting any knitting done if you use Bing; all the hits you get there are closed many many years ago. There are many other examples from daily life which we encounter when in China; we're going there in a few weeks again and i'll jot down the differences then; there is an awful lot which you simply cannot find in Bing while it's in the top hits in Google. We might search for different things but 'hard to tell the difference' is really just weird to say.
- tluyben2 10y agoI have in China and it's not compared to Google. My colleagues there are missing a ton of efficiency because of it. When I switch on the VPN (which mostly does not actually work otherwise it would stay on) and use Google, we work far faster and more efficient. I can even find datasheets which are only in Chinese faster on Google than they can on Bing.
