I would like to point out that per Microsoft’s own words Bing is not a “search engine” it’s a “decision engine”. As in, It “decides” what websites you are going to be shown based on things you have looked at in the past and more importantly who paid Microsoft the most to get to the top of their list.
Google and Yahoo are Logic based searches, that’s why no matter what computer you use you get the same list for a specific set of terms (as long as your government isn’t also imposing a censorship but that’s another story altogether). Bing is a “Preference based engine” with a heavy bias toward who Microsoft wants on top. This means it goes over your past preferences and decides what it thinks you probably want to see based on previous websites you have been on. The problem with this is that when you want to actually look for something different it will still be looking based on your past input making finding that new thing far harder.
