Bing has a system that produces quality search results, more relevant and accurate than Google. Microsoft owns Bing, so their products are integrated. I don't know if that is good or bad. Bing is Milan, and Google is Naples.

The problem is that from a writer's perspective, Bing has just 9% of the global search market.
I've never been a huge fan of its searches as a user either. I can see why Google gets the lion's share.
