I did two shopping searches on both services. One for "towel rack" and one for "tv sound system" because these are things I actually searched for in pursuit of a potential purchase earlier today. This is what I noticed:
- Bing's results are surrounded by ads, while Google's are not
- Google's interface is cleaner and the images are larger
- Google's results include ratings, which I personally find to be an awesome feature, and "special offers" on select results
- Bing had more results, but slightly less focused ("tv sound system" results include headsets and televisions)
- I couldn't say that the quality of the results themselves were definitively better from one than from the other
- When using lists to compare products, Bing's include just about every technical detail while Google's provide less, but more summary-like information
I order almost everything from Amazon anyway because I have Prime and it's amazing. But if I were to do a quick out-of-Amazon search for something, I'd still default to Google. I didn't find Bing's results (based on this limited test) to be different or better enough to compensate for it's less comfortable experience and feature set.
