Maybe I’m unusual, but only a small percentage of my searches fall into one of bing’s 4 categories. I teach lawyers how to use the Internet for investigative research and the bulk of my searches are to locate information about people. For that purpose, bing is no better than LiveSearch – in fact the results for my test searches were the same at both of those search engines. When I’m searching the Web, I’m usually looking for “information” not “solutions.” If search engines can bring me back enough relevant information I’ll be the “Decision engine” that synthesizes it into a meaningful solution.

“Rather than provide Google-like results in a Google-like format, Microsoft has focused on providing customized results for four common action-oriented search tasks: making a purchase, planning a trip, researching a health condition and finding a local business.”

Anyone have any idea what percentage of ALL Internet searches that includes?

I’m extremely excited about trying Bing next Wednesday. I think MS make it turnaround this time with Bing.

Let’s give it the benefit of the doubt and see if it really IS a Wolfram Alpha-beater.
