Is Bing really capable of stinging Google?

Bangalore: On June 3rd this year, Microsoft launched Bing, a renamed and reformed version of its search engine Kumo, with an intention to increase its hold on the search market, where an over 70 percent share is with Google. Though there are reports and testimonies in favor of this new search engine, Bing has to go a long way to catch up with Google in delivering in-depth results.
On the home page of Bing, there is a specific feature for search optimization where an Indian user can select between two options such as 'Show all' and 'Only from India'. If one checks any option before giving search words, the results returned will be optimized on the basis of the selection of the option. When a search on "Bikes' resale in Bangalore" was attempted by siliconindia news bureau on Bing with the 'show all category' marked, there was only one relevant link in the first ten results where one could find some bikes. But the same search on Google fetched all the ten results relevant and satisfying.
But in Bing's case, a user can try "Only from India" option, and get much more optimized results while searching about bike resale in Bangalore for instance. However, another problem with that is the user has to be aware where the stuff he is searching on is available, if he does not want to lose time switching the options. Since most of the popular websites are hosted outside India, searching for Facebook, for instance, in the 'India' section of Bing will turn nothing but a futile exercise.
Ironically enough, one will get better results about India not via India specific option, but through 'show all' section on Bing because Wikipedia is accessible via the latter option.
It was reported that Microsoft allocated $80 to $100 million dollars to build the brand name Bing. To put the amount in perspective, one must know that Google had spent only $25 million for its all ad campaigns in 2008. And naturally, Bing is fast catching up with its competitors in terms of market share as Alexa.com, a website that ranks websites across the world, listed Bing.com as the 15th most used website during the past one week. Just one week after its launch, Bing is already the second most popular search engine in the U.S. and worldwide except the U.K., according to StatCounter Global Stats.

1: i really do want to cancel bing. since
signing on i can't get some of my regular
sites. it has messed up my computer.
Posted by: jeannie tague - 21 Jul, 2009
2: I have also tested it and it gives better
results. Google already have large cache and
can return results based on that .
Bing will take time. ofcourse features are great and better than Google. just see Tranlater and compare with google !

3: Initial hits on bing is not because of its
usefulness but because of curiosity generated
by the hype created by MS.

8:ya its very good and gives more relavent
results when compared to google but is very
slow due to its high graphical background so
by lessening its grapic content it may beat
google

12: It is clear that just because a hell lot of
money pumped in to ads a product will not do
good. Google is Google.

13:This article is lame. Bing wins hands down,
and all the goog stock owners are running
scared including Google themselves, who are
scrambling to figure out how to make their
own decision engine. Today would be a good
day to sell if you own goog. M$ is about to
launch Win7, Office 14, Exchange 14, its slew
of hosted apps, Zune HD and of course Bing is
going to take over in search. All of these
products have received rave reviews (from the
unbiased media), and Microsoft is back on
track to be no. 1 again.

23: One should notice that Google has such a big
data base which it collected over the years
which causes it to show up more results than
the Bing when you do a search. Give sometime
to Bing to completely show its competence
against Google.
