Bing More Effective Than Google?

Xiph1980 writes "Experian Hitwise claims Bing and Bing-powered search to be more effective than Google. The success rate for Bing searches in the U.S. in July was 80.04%, compared to 67.56% for Google. The market watcher defines 'success rate' as the percentage of search queries that result in a visit to a website. Searches made through sites owned by Yahoo, which farmed out search to Bing under a deal struck in 2009, were also more efficient than Google. Those searches yielded a success rate of 81.36%. The claims of Hitwise don't explain why I keep finding things like Microsoft service pack download pages better through google than through bing."

    Let's ask two popular search engines the same simple question:

    "Who's the black private dick who's a sex machine to all the chicks?"

    Seriously. Try it on Bing, then try it on Google.

    Game over.

    Who searches for "weather ra"??

    Mortal,

    That search may be made by someone confused about Egyptian mythology. The answer is: I handle the Sun and Creation. Weather is handled by my son, Set.

    You're welcome,
