I'm doing the same. For search results, Bing works. I prefer Google's prominent ranking of Wikipedia, but I've been able to find what I need on Bing in all but one case.
However, before this week, I was completely unaware of how frequently I use Google for non-search queries. Things like "-40 F in C" or searching for "Place X to Place Y" and clicking on "Maps" to get directions. Bing doesn't even come close to matching my expectations / muscle memory in those cases.
