Another one of those Bing Vs. Google posts

I don’t typically use bing but I needed to install flash on Internet explorer within my Virtual Machine so I typed “Adobe flash” into the location bar.  This brought up more than the typical google search does. Google typically gives you the most popular pages for that site and a brief intro to the site usually from the meta description.  With bing though for a search for “Adobe flash” you get the customer service number as well as the ability to quickly search the site right from that search result.

Then I decided to try this out on something that is location based such as Best Buy.  A search for best buy within bing is pretty impressive, it gives me pretty much all of the information I would be looking for when I search for Best Buy without even having to visit Best Buy’s site.

With a search for Best Buy on Bing you get:

• An “Official Site” badge
• Customer service number
• The 5 closest best buy locations according to my current location
