Google refines search results

Google Inc. is giving Web surfers a few more ways to refine their search results, signaling its resolve to ward off rival Microsoft Corp.'s aggressive campaign to lure traffic.
 
I use Bing from time to time but still prefer Google. It would be extremely difficult for me to move to Bing. For me Google is synonymous with internet search.
 
Google VS Bing.
Lets see:
Google
Bing
And the winner is...

though I do find bing quicker in some cases (probably because its cached locally)
 
I would move to the first search engine that when I search for a manufacturer + model number i get information/support on the product before the 10th page of people advertising that they sell that product.
 
I used Bing for around a month and found that it was pretty useless for technical research, which I do a lot of in my field (datasheets and whatnot).
Google on the other hand works pretty well, I find, which is why I went back to it unfortunately.
 
Bing is awesome when I'm on local only and my international buddies aren't running a proxy. It's cool 'cause u can view cached sites which is better than nothing, also, it gives the option to search for local sites. However when I'm on international I always use Google. Dunno why, it's just always been that way!
