The article shows BING & GOOG'S search results for "the film where no new babies are born"
BING returns gibberish results, GOOG returns an IMDB link to "Children of Men", the perfect answer.
But one search out of billions is easy to gimmick, what are the results with a slightly different search string:
"the movie where no babies can be born anymore"

Bing's search is more accurate in the above example
Not "knock it out of the park" accurate but GOOG returns the complete wrong answer
How many of these could you find if you had the time in your day?
That said, as a guy with a bunch of MSFT stock I can't remember the last time I used BING

- nolok 15y agoAh, DDG still refusing to load any results for me. That website really doesn't want me to use it ...
- epi0Bauqu 15y agoPlease email me -- would love to sort it out.
- skeletonjelly 15y agoDoesn't DDG use Bing as it's primary search provider?

- shazow 15y agoSmallest grammatical change to get the correct result: https://www.google.com/search?q=the+movie+where+babies+cant+be+born+anymore https://www.google.com/search?q=the+movie+where+babies+cant+... "the movie where no babies can be born anymore" -> "the movie where babies can't be born anymore" There is definitely some room for improvement here, I'll submit this internally.
- SteveJS 15y agoWhy does the picture show Bing in Beta? Is there somewhere where it is still in beta? Google clearly has it's new (IMO uglier) UI.
- pvarangot 15y agoI'm in Argentina. Some months ago a Microsoft guy told the me Beta thing is because Bing has not yet been localized to Spanish. I don't know if this is currently the case, but I definitely still see "Beta" in the logo in all my searches.
- devilant 15y agoYeah. A Picture may be worth 1000 words, but 1000 words isn't enough to tell a full story.
- phireal 15y agoI don't know, Knock manages pretty well with seventeen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knock_%28short_story%29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knock_%28short_story%29
- mathattack 15y agoBing wasn't gibberish. Bing was wrong consistently in the same way. Just a subtle point that the problem is doable. I'd be interested in broader comparisons.
