Have you found Bing more desirable than DuckDuckGo for a specific reason? (Uses DuckDuckGo and liberal use of the bangs when things don't come up as expected)

No. I just wanted to diversify away from Google a bit and I started with Bing because of Microsoft Rewards. I've only been getting about 50 (USD) cents per month in points though, so it's not compelling.

I've used Yahoo since the early 2000s and never hopped on the Google bandwagon.

The times Ive tried to find things in Google because "people say it has better search", I've not had much luck. Possibly because they don't have extensive data on me and my search preferences?

I think Yahoo is backed by Bing these days? I always find its search results perfectly adequate.

By the way, DDG is also essentially entirely backed by bing. Bing except ddg for bangs is pretty much the same as just DDG.

Interesting I realize that Google results never really became more precise with my usage.
