What About Bing?

I have seen the commercial for the "discovery" engine Bing, by Microsoft.

I think they over exaggerate the concept of the search engine. The average search will return some pretty oddball stuff. To truly get something out of a search engine, you need to have a nuanced query.

In my project work, I have had to root out some pretty arcane knowledge. In doing so, I've had to wade through a bunch of information that wouldn't normally come up.

I doubt Bing can really offer you a search result that is more nuanced than Google. But I am sure time will tell.
