If I type "es_msg" into Bing I get exactly what I'd expect, the documentation for a function. When I type it into Google I get "did you mean tos_msg" which drives me batty. And the top two results are useless. The third result is correct.

Bing's "Help" is actually really nice and very fast (in Chrome). Or at least I found it easy to navigate through it.

Bing isn't indexing bug.gd error/solutions properly, though, so that's a bit frustrating.

Bing is definitely very fast. Sometimes felt faster than Google.




When I type es_msg into Google I too get the "did you mean" link, but the top result is the same as the Bing result.

Yes, Bing does feel really fast, but it's not like I've often felt like I was waiting too long for a Google result.


I mean the "Did you mean" top two results-- it gives me two results about "tos_msg" which are useless for the particular query and mess me up pretty much every day on other queries.


Ah, I didn't get those. Fair enough.


"tos_msg" -- interesting that Google is picking up on TinyOS and suggesting the term accordingly. May be an indication that they weight universities highly, since TinyOS started as a university project?
