Are you sure anti-Microsoft bias wasn't seeping in somewhere? (It used to be pretty easy, but it's getting harder with every new Google news article...) My room

Are you sure anti-Microsoft bias wasn't seeping in somewhere? (It used to be pretty easy, but it's getting harder with every new Google news article...) My roommate and I both tried it and didn't really get tripped up (and that was a while ago)
- jeromec 16y agoNo, I'm fully aware that everyone benefits if there are alternatives to a search monopoly. I was strictly evaluating the results. It may be that my searches are pretty demanding of a search engine, because they're not typically consumer oriented searches, but rather more obscure research and/or startup related. However, I do think I use a search engine fairly normally as well. For example, I remember in particular one search, I think it was the last one I did before giving up on Bing, President Obama was making a rally speech in support of Martha Coakley (who was famously defeated by Scott Brown) and he made reference to a certain buzz about a truck Scott Brown was supposed to be driving. I didn't know what the reference was to but Bing performed dismally. After several clicks and getting nowhere I Googled "Scott Brown truck" and Google almost missed it (it was a new topic at the time) but Google did have the ad in question near the bottom of page one, and led me to a page with a video of the ad.
