User:Vrohitg/sandbox/Q21.Why Google is considered superior to Bing?/Introduction

== When we think about Search engines, we immediately whisper Google. It has become our one stop shop for our queries. It doesn't matter the field, the naivety or the complexity of the query, Google deals with it all and answers it all. We all know how Google became such a phenomenon. It is a beast in terms of analyzing data and has one of the best web search algorithms. It also has the reputation and the word of mouth from users and the reliability factor. Even the stats agree with them, about 67% (two-thirds of internet users) use Google as their preferred search Engine. The Search engine in the second place is Bing, Microsoft's answer to Google. Ever since its merger with Yahoo, Bing has established itself as the prime competitor for Google, with 18% of the internet users preferring it. For a Search Engine introduced in 2009, this is a very promising number against a rival as big as a Google. But still the general perception is tough to change. Our very own professors and orators often use the phrase 'Google it' frequently when some questions are unanswered. But we never hear the phrase 'Bing it' or the fancy 'Bing it on' from the general Public, which led to the question I intend to go into. Why this preferential treatment to Google? Is it well placed? How do the two evaluate against each other? Is Google indeed better or is the reputation just too high for Bing to scale down? ==
