Is Bing a better search than Google?

The use of Google search for most of us is a habit. We know how it works and just what to expect. But with a little time on Bing, it is easy to see how the results compared to Google are better in many ways.

For example: Bing search results have a panel on the left of the search results that categorizes and refines search results. Let's say you search for "Michael Jackson", the panel shows related links for Images, Songs, Biography, Downloads, Merchandise, Posters, News, and Videos all related to Micheal Jackson. If you search for "multiple sclerosis", the panel shows related links for News, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Causes, Treatment, Prognosis, Articles, and Images. The same panel also saves the search history to save you time, and has a "clear all" feature for those with something to hide.

This feature alone no matter what you are searching for (images, video, etc.) really makes things a lot easier and with a lot less clicking then Google.

I'm sure there is a lot more for me to discover about Bing and this is just what I plan to do. Google is still a habit even for me, but now I find Bing a lot more pleasant...so now I can say "I prefer Bing over Google".
