Which is terrible. I use Bing as a backup for Google when Google fails me (not often), and I just don't like all of Bing's noise, the background graphics, the sidebar stuff, the slow load time, the Facebook Like button (FFS, WHY??), the "Check out our other services!" topbar that keeps the search field from loading until it's finished, ugh.
It seems like Google is becoming more Bing-like with each passing day. This is not a good thing.
What is great and always has been great about Google (and why, I believe, it's a staple for many of us after over a decade!) is its great results paired with simplicity and fast load time (please don't get me started on Instant Search, it's not a pretty rant).
Google Search, be yourself, the self that's kept you as the autocompleted "g" in my URL bar for well over a decade now. Don't go chasing waterfalls. They take forever to load.
