Beginning of the week Microsoft released a new search engine called Bing.com, formerly known as Kumo. It is believed to be Microsoft last and greatest attempt to compete with Google’s supremacy in search engine world.

I have decided to give the new search engine a try to see if it is any good. I used Bing.com exclusively this week to do all my searches. I have to say that Bing is pretty damn good. In my first couple of searches, I would do the search in Google as well to see if Bing's result is as good, and it is. It did not give me the same search result as Google’s but it did give me what I was looking for. And after sometimes, I just stopped using Google and used Bing 95% of the time for the rest of the week.

Bings algorithm is definitely ALOT better than live search algorithm. I remember when I tried Live Search, it was pretty much frustrating. Its just not easy to get the information that you want with live search. With Bing it’s so much better. It gives me better search result, and in the case where it fails me, Bing recommends me with some searches that’s related with my search. I find this feature to be pretty awesome, and helps me not going back to google to get what I’m searching for.

I think Bing has what it takes to compete with Google. I had a great experience while using it, and I’m not going to stop using it. I believe that for a search engine to be successful, not only it needs good search algorithm, it needs support from a lot of users to use its service. The more users use the search engine, the more accurate the search engine will be. I’ll be supporting Bing for the time being, we’ll see how long will this last.
