Why?

"Bing" because Microsoft can't count up to Google. They're limited to 640 K.

just played with it a bit. can't really say if searches are more thorough than google but having a short preview of the site when you mouse over the left side of a hit is somewhat handy.

I tried it out yesterday after reading some unusual comments in a review.

Turn off SafeSearch in Extras>Preferences and it is NOT SAFE FOR WORK! Type in a word that could possibly be related to sex and you have XXX videos streaming in your browser. :eek2:

Seems like it does what google does with a few new bells and whistles. Good, google could use the competition.

Compare Bing to Google in realtime. To my eyes, it looks like Bing just changes to first result, then pastes a Google search underneath.
