I have not given it a "right-royal" but i agree it was quite fast.
howeevr, following jjjnettie's lead I searched for my name, without quoting, and produced 6000 results in Bing and 350 in Google.

so, is google better able to match non-quoted search strings than Bing?

when I quote my name then Google generates only about 6 and Bing about 125.

But, i know that Google used to produce about 200 results when I quoted my name. where did I go? hmmm...


it will come down to personal preference in the end:
- do you like micosoft?
- do you hate microsoft?
- do you support google?
- do you support google even though its "good corporate citizen" persona is really just a faux-persona?
- do you like google's logo or bing's background?
- do you like the font used on the results page?
