Google Vs. bing

Relevance is everything
Search engines are usually judged by the relevance of
their results. When it comes to relevance between Bing
and Google, the former doesn't compare. With simple
searches, Microsoft's search engine might perform just as
well as Google. But tough queries set Google apart. A
long, difficult query is more likely to yield relevant results
in Google Search than Bing. That's not to say that
Microsoft's search engine can't handle difficult queries-it
can-but it will take more time finding the right result in
Bing than Google.

Market share counts for something
Although the debate over features can go on for hours,
it's hard to bet against market share. The vast majority of
Web users are still using Google to find their desired
search results. And until more folks start seeing value in
Bing, it's hard to say why Microsoft's search engine
should be considered the better of the two. Yes, Bing
might have some added extras that some folks like, but
until the world starts moving over, Google can still wear
the crown of the top search engine.

The focus of Google and Bing couldn't be any different.
Google attempts to find the best solutions to improve its
search for users. It realizes that if users are happy, its
profits will soar. And its recent financial statements have
reflected that success. Microsoft's Bing search engine is
much different. For one, Microsoft is focusing too much of
its time and energy on what Google is doing. It also
believes that the more content available in search
results, the more people will like it. Microsoft must
eventually realize that search is about users first and

Mobile integration
Google's willingness to bring search to several mobile
devices has significantly helped the company stay atop
the search market. Google Search is the default service
on the company's mobile operating system, Android OS.
Even better, it's also the default search engine on the
iPhone. In fact,only recently did Apple announce that
Bing would also be offeredas an option in the company's
mobile operating system. Google's mobile integration has
been extremely important to the company. Not only does
it potentially expose more users to its service, it also
