Anecdotally, their actual search results have sucked for me. For example, I searched for “narrowest cars with 6 or more seats”, and Bing’s results were terrible and irrelevant. The AI version gave me some acceptable results but very few. Google returned pages of relevant results from different years.

When I try that search string on DuckDuckGo, I see what looks to be pretty decent results, FWIW.

Only partially.

Also, even if it were just a Dr front for Bing, it doesn't change that I got perfectly reasonable results for the search string said to return unusable results from Bing, so

Not partially, totally now. They used Yandex before, but they stopped using it after the war I believe.

You probably tried on balanced mode, that is shitty. Tried now on Creative and seems... very good?
