I already tried and went back to google. Bing is better for images and videos, however (even non-pornographic ones).

actually you can use deg pretty well if you follow my good advice: if you're searching for stack overflow, stop typing it into google and just type "stackoverflow [your computer problem here]" into Safari, then press the down error so you highlight the option "Search stack overflow.com for "[your computer problem here]" and push enter. it will take your straight to stack overflow search results, bypassing google or ddg or bing. this works for a lot of sites because i think it works by finding sites that declare they have a search api and uses it. the biggest problem is breaking the habit of just putting stuff in the omnibar. and typing out "stackoverflow" every time.

so far I've found what I'm looking for every time I've used it, 2 days in. I expect being back to Google sooner than later, but so far......

why is ms so bad at naming things? I'd probably use bing if it wasn't named bing. like if it was meatspin, i'd go to meatspin.com and meatspin some questions I have. I'd be meatspinning all day if I had to. I'm sure other names would work too.
