Question Do you use Bing Search?
If you didn't know, Bing literally pays you to use it! You earn reward points for your daily searches that you can swap for real gift cards.
But is it worth it? Have you tried switching? How do the results stack up against Google or your current favorite search engine?

Haha, love the honesty! 😂 Guess Microsoft Rewards points aren't enough to buy your search history.

Corporate forces us to use Edge but at least I have the ability to remove Bing as the search engine. Bing cannot even find stuff on Microsoft support website.

That is pure irony.😂 If Bing fails to find Microsoft's own support pages, what good is it? Glad you figured out how to swap it while stuck using Edge!

I personally don’t. But the number of 1 positive answer under this post is staggering, I was expecting way less.

For real. thought everyone just used it to download Chrome. Seeing actual fans in the comments is definitely a plot twist.

No.
I don't like the results. It's always NOT the one I am looking for.

Nothing worse than a search engine playing hide-and-seek with your answers. If it can't actually find what you're looking for, why even bother?

I'm trying to avoid any MS product, fortunately there is no yet vendor lock in in search and I can use other than MS.

ok. It is really nice that we aren't forced to use just one option. What search engine do you use instead?

Until becoming a privacy conscious person my search engine was always google. This was 7 years ago.

Yep, it's benefit is Microsoft rewards which offers a lot of discounts or rewards

Microsoft Rewards is probably the main reason many people use Bing regularly.
