| 1282238 | 2012-06-17 08:53:00 | Lately I have been trying Bing again. But it is very slow to load up in NZ, Google is just about instant. And Bing really need to improve their general search results. Eg I typed in "Australian Job losses" and the top three listings were 3 years old - totally useless. On Google the top 3 listings were very recent and of course there is the option to choose last day or week or month. I was hoping to use Bing more, but due to that fact I cannot. |

| 1282243 | 2012-06-17 22:01:00 | You don't like google? I used to use a lot of different search engines but over the years it's just ended up being google for everything. As long as it does the job I feel no need to change. Bing can do whatever it likes, until I start hearing from review sites etc that it's better than google I won't even bother trying it. I don't quite get the "Hoping to use Bing more" bit, is there some reason to prefer it? |

| 1282245 | 2012-06-18 07:01:00 | I don't quite get the "Hoping to use Bing more" bit, is there some reason to prefer it? Two reasons One I don't like monopolies Two Google seem to be aiming more at paid for searches eg Google Shopping But after using Bing for 2 weeks I think they have a LONG way to go before I would consider swapping. |
