You would be surprised. I am using Bing alone for over a year and had to use google for 2-3 cases at max. Agreed google sometimes return different results, but you cannot say it's better, especially if you are used to seeing Bing results. I would suggest you try Bing for a month and go to google if you cannot absolutely find anything in Bing.

I switched my default search engine to Bing on my phone (when AMP started to become a thing) and it's been great.

I do still use Google on my work PC, because it knows I'm a C++ programmer and can show more relevant results. I am against the direction tracking is going, but it is useful in some cases.

Hi Vanadium....I'm a journalist and saw a post of yours on an older HN thread that I was hoping to ask you about. Any chance you'd be willing to connect so I can share details about me and what I'm working on? Cell is 847-380-0751

What kind of queries with Bing (or DDG for other users) gives results that suggest you need to switch to Google?

Programming queries, that too only occassionally. And also recently I had an issue with my MacBook Pro and Google showed the more forum answers and more accurately.
