I closed my eyes while I did it, just to make it a real blind test. So I don't know.

Hope that helps.

4-1 to Google for me too. Somehow I don't think this blind test idea's going to work out quite how Bing hoped it would...

Interestingly, the one search that Bing won was a technical acronym. Neither search engine got the meaning right in their top results, but I gave it to Bing for effectively admitting they'd no idea and including an acronym finder near the top. Google's results consisted almost entirely of references to the same (wrong) answer.

Whenever I entered a more specific search, Google's results were better.
