Microsoft almost certainly spends a lot less money on Bing than Google spends on Google Search, there's a good chance that Microsoft's spending per search query is lower than Google's. Bear in mind, being "good enough" costs significantly less than being "the best". Also, Microsoft announced that Bing started being profitable in 2015, and they've grown since: http://www.zdnet.com/article/microsofts-bing-search-business-finally-is-profitable/ http://www.zdnet.com/article/microsofts-bing-search-business...
