How about 30% of the people upgraded to IE9 (or 8) and automatically had Bing as the default search engine. There are a lot of people who turn it on and click, if they have to go inside and change things they're lost.

From what ive read and been told, Bing is really good..... but not gonna change by homepage from google lol

I wonder how much of that 30% actually intended on using Bing for their searches?

my thoughts exactly.

that and personally, my club bing bot does hundreds of searches a day but thats just because i want the free crap. i dont use it personally.

I would think the majority of that share is just the default search in IE.

Haven't really tried it lately, but I must say that for example Yahoo's images produce more accurate results than google does. And AFAIK, yahoo is now powered by Bing.

I have found that lately Bing (and Yahoo) has been indexing the sites I am in charge of much more requently and picking up the updates better than Google so I can see some advantages to swapping!

And let's not forget Bing is used as the default search engine on WP7 powered smartphones. It can be a signal of strength.
