Both are polluted with rubbish, but Bing's inability to find it's own features is a bit special
(For example if you search "houses for sale near $placename" it surfaces a property search UX which is actually quite neat. If you type "houses for sale in $placename" which is not exactly an obscure variant query, the same feature is completely hidden (although there is a big button saying "houses for sale" that will reorder your search results without surfacing the house search ui). Battling spam is an ongoing battle, the "best" results are subjective, but not being able to find its own features feels like half-arsed implementation.)
- DinaCoder99 3y agoMaybe i'm nuts but I think attempts to be senantically cute with queries almost always backfires. I'd much rather treat it like a full text search.
- notahacker 3y agoGenerally I do full text search if I want to find words and phrases in text and natural language queries if I want cute widgets to solve natural language questions. But "house sale $placename" works fwiw!
