businessweek.com— In a deal that presages its departure from a market it once dominated, Yahoo will essentially scrap its own efforts to best Google in search and instead rely on Microsoft's recently debuted Bing search engine

"Try to search "toyota celica" in google and bing. In google the first thing you see are some crappy ricer cars and then a wikipedia link. On Bing you get a whole lot of useful information right on the page, without having to click anything."Um yeah...you get that information because microsoft runs autos.msn.com and google doesn't run an automotive index. So in this case yes, Bing would be better because the results directly benefit their partner site. You will see this same type of thing for instances where google has a partner site related to what your looking for.
@gdavidp,Bing returns it as the second hit, but the first is one that hasn't been used in ** 7 freakin' years **! I'd say I'm pretty much in the right saying Bing sucks ass.
i doubt they're going to be able to take on google, bing is going to really have to improve it's search because it's results are still subpar to googles by far
Yahoo is still my homepage. I look at the news stories on the front page sometimes. If i need to search for something I go to the search bar of firefox which is set to use google, imdb, wiki, amazon...
