SEARCH SHOWDOWN: Microsoft’s Plan to Win the Search War

To Bing or not to Bing!

I've been using bing for over 3 weeks now, and it's really a tossup between the two. I've noticed searching for specific files in Bing is a lot more useful then Google. In bing if you use the "Contains:" attribute, you can place a file type extension after the colon, and that will narrow your search to that specific filetype. Yes, Google too can do this ("filetype:" parameter), but what Google does is it searches directly for that file, whereas Bing will find a page with that file name being specified. Huge difference here because results will be different, and I've found bing to be more effective here.
