So recently(today), my search engine(Bing) is not showing results for any video games that I know is spelled correctly.
Any suggestions?
Its working now....

You could always use google or yahoo search instead?

Your problem is that you're using bing.

And here I was about to make a witty quip about it too. The other day, a program I installed tried to force the Bing toolbar onto my browser. Not only did it have this as part of 'standard install', but even when I told it no several times, Spybot caught it in the process of trying to change things around.

Now imagine how much money Microsoft paid them to make it do that.

Bing is terrible, that's your problem.

[lordcooper]

Seriously.

Excluding terribleness,

Using bing supports the microsoft leviathan, over the google leviathan.

Honestly, who do you prefer spread their wiry grasp into everything?

do no harm google,

or
spread evil microsoft.

Microsoft doesn't need to pay itself.


Fact:
Microsoft bing uses results from google that you have viewed.
Recursion, if you will.
I don't know if microsoft bing has even have a halfway decent base of websites indexed.

Seriously, Bing sucks.

There is a reason why people use "google" as a verb (googling)

[Thief^]

Google is a verb because it was the best search engine for many years, but that was before bing existed so you can't really use that as an argument. I've seen the evidence of bing stealing google results though, so I don't trust them.

Actually, I don't like Google as a company but Google is the best search engine out there.

Next time Bing acts up, catch it in a bug net and put it in a terrarium. Make your own bug circus and make it jump through hoops. That should condition it enough to make another mistake ever again in it's entire life.

I was referring to the company behind the random, unnamed, application that tried to install Bing toolbar even when told not to as part of its standard installation.

Vaguely reminds me of this.

Allegedly, Bing is better for when you know more or less what you want, that is, it responds better to specific input.  Google supposedly responses better to general input.  Allegedly and supposedly.
