1. Comment - Bing vs. Google face-off, round 1

   (Jun 2, 2009 - 1:11 PM)

   I just tried the same experiment done here with the 1 TB hard drive and google returned the $53 hard drive that they claimed google did not find but google had already added in shipping and tax, which is probably why it appeared to be more expensive. It also came right to the front with google shopping and with bing i got a whole bunch of hard drive enclosures which is not what i was searching for. I'm sure I could wade through all the nonsense results, but why would i do that? I can just use google.
   
   The authors last search was borderline retarded. He start by saying we're going to search for north korea's missile testing and then you go and search for "North Korea" test. Excuse me if I'm missing something here but shouldn't they have searched for north korea missile test? Also, why would the author put quotes around north korea? That is useless for a phrase so common. ALSO, ahem, the author says they used the toolbars to find this which is the same thing as using the normal search engine. I guess they don't bother to realize that just using the regular search engine is not the best way to find up to date news. Its for finding the most relevant and useful information. If you want the newest info, just click on 'news' and search there. The author CLEARLY does not understand how to use search engines.

   This is stupid. The way the author goes about searching is completely backwards. First, the user should use the main search engine to search for a better movie resource. IMBD would certainly come up and then the movie name will come up and after clicking you get the cast (and pictures). Now that you have the actors name you can go back to the image google or bing image search to find pictures (if the ones from IMDB aren't good enough). Even using the regular search engine, not the image search, would be much better to find the movie and cast and once you have that, move on to the image search. There is no point in searching the image search the way the author does and anyone who actually does that does not understand how to search.
