Is Bing now really at par as Google?

In my recent searches related to tech, bing gave better results than Google. Anyone else feels the same?

Trust me only MSFT employees will say that 😂

1. Being on par is not enough. We need something revolutionary. 2. People like me are too used to Google to switch, especially after being disappointed with Bing a few times. First impressions are so important. 3. Microsoft is so diverse that it is almost in every market, but it is always almost never the best in any (devices, gaming, search, OS, Cloud, SaaS, maps, etc). And this model seems to be working very well for growth. Btw, I will be joining Google soon

I don’t know about better but I can say that I did not realize that I was using bing while searching some stuff recently.

Bing is generally fine for searching in the us. But try using it in Danish or probably most other European languages and you will find it severely lacking still unfortunately.

Bing is SHIT it's a failed product designed because some exec felt the need to "compete with google"

It is profitable and growing double digits. By no definition is that a failure.

It doesn't matter how good which one is. If it is not providing anything distinctive why will current Google users will move?
