I would say that Bing already is a viable alternative. Having used it for several months now, there aren't too many queries that it doesn't handle well, and usually when I check Google's results for those queries, they are equally bad.
- kenjackson 13y agoBing has finally gotten to the point where I don't fallback to Google queries anymore (I used to end up doing that about once a day in the past). I just use Bing now, and only use Google when I hear about some interesting Google art on their homepage.
- alextingle 13y agoIt's certainly true that Google's search product has been getting worse and worse for years. You have to jump through hoops to get the real ("verbatim") search results, rather than "what we thought you might mean".

- romanovcode 13y agoIt's 2014, times have changed.
- teddyh 13y agoI don’t think Microsoft has changed enough to earn my trust or respect. I doubt they could.
- namenotrequired 13y agoPersonally, I will try gradys suggestion because I need to use several google products for work; I know Microsoft is just as bad as Google but at least it's not Google, so they'll both only have more partial data.
