    Im using it on all the current parts of my site, but Im wondering how many DPers are using the Bing Search Box. For people who are, are you enjoying it and any good/bad experiences with it? For people that arnt, why not?

    Honestly, I still haven't got used to how I should properly search using Bing, comparing to the way that I have been using Google and/or Yahoo.

    Only when Google's connection is down (in China), I would switch to use alternative search engines (Baidu, Yahoo & Bing).

    I like the wallpaper of Bing though, which changes everyday!

    Bing is a BIG disappointment! :( expected much more; MS has enough funding and could have done better!!

    No, Bing is not providing accurate result. Google is much better than therefore i stick on google
    By the way, Bing only good on image search.

    I agree with lifeplayer. Got some great images and the search is less heavy. It has a nice design, by the way, and that's pretty much it. Big Brother G is more comprehensive at the moment.

    Bing who?! Naw, I'm just playing. I don't use Bing at all. But I have noticed that I've been getting traffic to my sites from them. I've been to Bing's site like one time and hadn't returned. Why? I don't know. I don't see the point. Their commercial that I've see on TV here isn't even convincing enough to get me to use it on a regular basis or even at all. So until I'm persuaded it's better, then I'm going to stick with Google. But I appreciate them for indexing my sites. :D

    No, I don't use nor would I even recommend ANYONE to use Bing. I've never liked it, I've always been a true user towards Google. Bing is another attempt at Microsoft making millions, they don't want QUALITY search queries, they want MONEY. $$

    Some traffic coming in from Bing, still not so significant at the moment.
    Myself, I don't use Bing very much, only sometimes just for curiosity to see how my sites rank over there.
