A comment on Google Could Lose Default Search Engine Status on iPhone.

I switched to Bing on my iPhone, and I prefer the results to Google. The presentation is nicer, the results do an infinite scroll (which means less clicking on teeny tiny links), and the quality of the results is the same, if not better.

I'm no Microsoft fan, but I'd love to see Bing get some marketshare, just to reduce the single-search-engine hegemony.

I just tried setting mine to Bing and I'm not getting an infinite scroll, just a small "More results" link

After selecting "more results", the subsequent page shows "infinite results" after scrolling to the bottom. I don't understand why it doesn't do this on the first page.

Ah, I see it. It's probably because most people will find what they need after scanning the first page; it prevents the user from accidentally eating up bandwidth by looking at all the results.
