> "Bing is the new Speed Dial search engine" Eugh

• ComputerGuru 16y ago
  I'm using it now, and Google is still the real default for everything else (search bar, etc.)

  Microsoft is really throwing money at search lately. Bing is everywhere (Colbert, iOS 4, "Filomena", "Search Overload"). How long can they keep it up for the returns they're getting?

    Decades. They're Microsoft.

      And it's nothing new. They've been throwing money at the web and trying not to fail for years. No real success yet though (IMHO)

    Only have to for a few more months until the Yahoo! deal is completed.

  The default was Ask Jeeves, so not like it's a huge step down :)

  One of my favorite little tweaks using opera is making Wikipedia the speed dial search engine. I've already got google up top, so having a wikipedia box every time I open a new tab pretty much accounts for 100% of my search needs. As for bing, I don't plan on using it so... who cares?

    well you can simply type "w" then your search in the address bar

  I think I may be the exception but i have never even used the speed dial search. I only use the main url bar. g searchstring and i search google. y searchstring and i search yahoo. i have also made some for other sites such as stackoverflow s searchstring and i search SO. so imo its not a big deal who the default is, with the exception of the main url bar default search.

    I never use it either, and I'm also far more likely to use Bing than Ask. So, unless I'm also an exception, complaining about this is truly silly.
