Google no longer relevant as a search engine, according to Google search results.

Dogpile who?

For years, Google has dominated the search market and until recently, held the position of top dog in most of the world including their home market in the United States. But with the arrival of Microsoft's Bing we've seen a change in browsing habits on the Internet.

So google has finally jumped the shark eh? Interesting.

I have Bing, it came in on a update because I never asked. But I don't like Bing, when I click sites it keeps giving me a window saying cannot find server. Maybe I am doing something wrong but it really bugs me.

It's relevant enough for me. It gets the job done and I am content with it as a whole. I have no desire to try Bing at all.

But we all get different search results from Joogle. How do people form a consensus if they can't read the same articles?

Bing=POFS

You can't really says Google is not relevant in search when they just hit 1 billion unique visits..that is more then facebook

I use it lots. The big annoyance is all the half-naked Chinese chicks on image search....

 

[cranky]

did you just use google to prove that google wast relevant? isn't that a conflict of interest?

 

[Tonington]

Google is far more than just a search engine now...videos with YouTube, email with Gmail, blogging with the Blogger network, Google Earth and Google maps, a useful scholar search function, heck even Googling is in the lexicon now. They will be releasing Google+ soon, like Facebook except without all the privacy issues that Facebook has run into.

Google has brand recognition that others wished they had.

There are so many internet savvy out there now, very few need to use a search engine to find a search engine....Google trends search for "search engine":

with gmail, google calendar, google tasks, google docs, I've been using them for several years because I enjoy the advantages of what has now become known as the internet cloud. In the course of a normal week, i find myself sitting in front of 8 different computers in 3 locations, plus 1 mobile phone and 1 laptop. If I didn't use google apps, it would probably have to use something like salesforce.com but frankly, I hadn't heard of salesforce.com until last month.

I doubt I'll ever not use Google.

If only for the multiple services alongside the actual search engine, Google maps has actually saved my as from getting lost once.. a mildly unpleasant experience.

Bing....needs to stay away from my pc.. I like it as much as I like that one no-one remembers, you know.. the one with the inundating waves of advertisments?

Either way, unless Google screws up majorly somehow, I plan on continuing my usage.

PS: Having a choice in what search engine I get to use is also a huge part.. having to use something bundled is no fun..

Works excellent for me and the results are generally very reliable.

Bing is a good search engine but it was far too late to the game, Google has far too much traction to be affected by Bing. One just needs to look at the Android Mobile Operating System, for every phone sold, it's another person buying into the Google ecosystem. It's all about mobile now...

Agreed, reminds me of when the first iProduct came out.

You can't claim google isn't relevant.

Maybe others are taking market share, but that doesn't make it non-relevant.

Agreed, if you take a step back and look at the staggering amount of search engines, it's slightly rediculous.

BING is horrible. I cannot stand it.

it's typical Microsoft trying to play catch-up game by releasing inferior software.

Windows Vista- Check
Microsoft Bing- Check
Windows Mobile 7- Check
