Bing Feedback
A lot of internet users have tried Bing since it was released by Microsoft in June 2009. There has been mixed reviews about Bing in comparison to Google, especially in terms of search results and result qualities.
We found a blind test where you can actually test to see which search engine you actually prefer. Whether it be Bing, Google, or Yahoo! Be sure to come back and post your results.

My comment is to do with the maps function. The 3D images are 2nd to none and generally the accuracy of addresses that it returns is the best. But you really lack behind Google when it comes to updating the maps.
The East London line (London Overground) extension has been completed for a year or more now and you have not included it on your map. More importantly, the country of South Sudan came into being in July of 2011, but your map still does not recognise it.
There may be many more, or you may have been focusing on other areas, but you need to keep up to date on these issues and make these changes quicker, or lose out to Google Maps.
This is a quick review of the Bing Bar.
-The search feature is redundant as the browser’s address bar serves the same purpose.
-Add more customization (very important)
Allow any email accounts, news web sites, finance market news, etc.
-Bing Bar takes up precious space at the top of my browser forcing it to lose its clean, uncluttered look. Somehow seamlessly integrate the features into the rest of the browser.
what good is bing – it can’t play its own videos. If it takes something special, bing sould provide it. I’ll stick to google
I’m accessing the Internet from Kuwait so my I.P. address is Kuwaiti.
Bing interprets that to mean I’m an Arabic speaker. Fine.
Bing shows its search splash page in Arabic. Fine.
The search splash page is ONLY in Arabic with NO option in English to change the site into English. NOT fine.
Did any of you Bing developer idiots actually TEST the pages you’ve designed? I do not read Arabic and want to have the option of interacting with Bing in English. FIX THIS S**T!!!
Bing is so incredibly annoying.
It seems to be saturated with paid advertising results.
also, pick a better name.
look at the word association with bing.
bing > chandler (from friends) > dumb, stupid, friendly but a little retarded.
My ISP (Charter Cable) has a new “web helper” that hijacks my search from IE9 address bar. If I type in a search it takes me to their “web helper” instead of Bing (my preference).
If I change my default web browser to Google, I can search with Google but when I change my default back to Bing the charter site hijacks the search again.
Charters site says they’ve created a wonderful partnership with Yahoo for their search. I really hate their web helper. I hope you can workout with Charter and/or Yahoo to make bing instead of them hijacking my searches.
ya just lost a user and i’ll use google from here out. the pop-up ad in the corner was the last straw. why can’t you just have a great search engine and leave it at that? seems to work for google.
I find the filter on the image search to be highly ineffective. If this is strict filtering, I’d hate to see an unfiltered search.
The weather gadget for location Melbourne Australia is incredibly wrong on forecasts. It is regularly out by 3 or 4 degrees C when compared to the Weather Bureau web site which is very accurate. Bit of a waste of time using it if is going to be so wrong.

Bing was default on my new Lenove Laptop. I’m leaving it for now, but I’m ready to switch bac to google.
Bing is over marketed and alienates people. I went to bing today and there was an arial picture of Harvard. That just seems pretentious. As a MS partner and developer I would like to see Bing do better, but it was more appealing as live.com. What Google gets and MS doesn’t is that less marketing is more marketing. Make Bing a blank canvas for customization and people will use it.
FYI, the “Tell us What You Think” link in the bottom right of the homepage throws an error. At least on iPad it does.
I tried using bing on my iPhone. The text size of the results was so large that when I searched for business information in an area it took several pages to scroll through to get what I needed – address and phone numbers. There needs to be a condensed way of presenting business listings – addresses and phone numbers – along snippets of review highlights. Additionally, the text on the results page needs to be smaller so I can see more results with less scrolling.
I use Bing daily. I have an idea. How about a thumbs up or down for a search result. I’ve noticed a lot of crappy results whether it’s Google, Bing, etc. from crap like ehow.com, it’s be nice to vote them down, or exclude certain website from certain website, sort of like blocking e-mail addresses or flagging them as spam.
Thank you and keep up the great work.
The opening pictures are very nice but when you make them move (animate?) they take alot of my laptops resources (sometimes 100%) and the CPU heat rises the fan kicks on and I would rather not have this happen. Any way to stop the animation/movement?
I’ve a cockroach on my pillow. Wanna see it?
Please make your Bing Travel hotels map larger – please make it a square instead of a rectangle. It is very frustrating to use it as a rectangle. Most other maps online (expedia, mapquest) are square
Thanks!!! :)
The bing bar is awsome, the only thing i don’t like is the x button on the left side which looks very boring and tacky.Please get rid of it.
I have tried to help you, but you need to add some advanced search features. The most important is TIME. Many searches are time sensitive. So when I search, often I only want very timely results, say last 24 hours, last week, last month, etc. I don’t want to have to filter through thousands of articles from 1989 and before!
Google has great time filter. Until you get one I cannot use your service.
After you IMPOSED the bing toolbar and search engine when I used CNET – I will NEVER use Bing!!
NAZI marketing does not win me over
good bye
Oh, an excellent text! No idea how you came up with this report..it’d take me long hours. Well worth it though, I’d suspect.
Do Bing workers actually even read this? If they do, let me tell you this. One of your staff members, Louise, sucks. She has no idea what she’s doing. The fact that Bing chooses to hire idiots like her to manage issues just goes to show how poor this site really is.
Your web page is poor and scandalous.
Can you not improve or should one switch to yahoo?
And by the way, Google is 999999999999 times better. If I worked for Bing, I would really quit and transfer to Google.
Bing is terrible. You guys try to get more people to use this crappy search site by using Bing Rewards, which is not reasonable at all. It’ll take a person months before they can get any kind of rewards. This site needs A LOT of improvements. And starting pop-ups? Really Bing? I would say to just close this entire “search engine” down, but that would only contribute to higher unemployment. Horrible site. Never using it again. 1 star for effort.
I Preferred Bing over the other search engine sites for two reasons.
1)the great photos and adjacent quiz information boxes and
2) that it was a static site that lem me do the navigating the didn’t flash crap at me.
If your going to start banners, pop ups and flashing crap.( i.e. today’s page) I will be looking for a new search page. I understand advertisers rule the market and I know my only recourse is to vote with my feet and move on. It was great while it lasted.
Your garbace has taken over my computer and stole the position of homepage I don’t care anything for this shit Iclicked no thyere was no fuck no button you (bleeps) I am not happy and I refuse to use any of your products from this day forward
I have to tell you that I am not a fan of Bing. To the point that I became really annoyed with Bing I enjoyed having MSN as my home page. I liked it because I found it a good place to catch up on news that was of interest to me. Now I’m weighing weather it is worth the hassel.
When I see a story that I want to read based on a headline, I click on it and I expect to be taken to that story. Not so. Now I get to go through an enormous amount of stuff that I don’t want. I simply wanted what I clicked on. These days when I click on a story and it goes to a Bing laundry list I immediately close it out and move on. The next step is changing my home page.
I can’t tell you how annoying it is to see something I want to read and then get this incredible list of related things, but now what I was looking for. That just really irritates me no end. I absolutley hate it. Let me decide what I want. If I see a headline and I click on it, then you can assume that is damn well what I want to see, not a bunch of repetitive short intros about something related or similar. Even more annoying is that when you try to go to the next step, you still don’t get what you want. Talk about pissing people off. I have to say that I’m absolutley not alone in this. I’ve talked with friends and co-workers and they all agree. I’m not some weird guy or something. I simply want what I want. Time is limited. When I see what I want to read I expect to get to it and move on. Not some stupid easte egg hunt for the original article I wanted to read. It’s frustrating and I think I might be done with MSN. I’m going to look around, I know there are millions of choices and I get suggestions all the time.
I don’t know if this is a Bing comment or an MSN comment but here is what I really can’t stand. On the MSN home page they will have a teaser headline–”Giant Snakes” or “Summer Movie Hunks” or “Politician Scandals” or whatever–and when you click on that, thinking the topic should be interesting, there is zero content. There is nothing but a giant laundry list of possible sites. In no particular order. You should be aware that this has trained me NEVER to go to Bing. The minute I see “Search” on an MSN feature or see Bing anywhere I run the other way.
Simply Amazing article. I was arguing with my mom on this topic on the other day. I will prove I was true by the help of this article. Thankx friend.
Whats with a search being answered with more questions?? No more questions! Just answer the search and put the info on the first page. Don’t make a question out of everything and then make it so we have to click a link to get the answer! This is very annoying.
Also please terminate the blue search bar that appears on the top of MSN pages when you scroll down. If I want a search bar I can find it. I don’t need a pop up covering the top part of my screen.
BING SUCKZZZZZZZZZZ AND I MEAN IT
