The wannabe your search vehicle Bing was unable to deliver when Michael Jackson died. The latest search engine from Microsoft buried the story by TMZ under a layer of other news at the bottom of the page. Microsoft admits it even ranked the story low in their xRank result.
According to one news source it states:
Microsoft has aggressively marketed Bing, launching it in a storm of advertising on television and online. Microsoft also beat Google to searching “tweets” from Twitter users; the microbloging site which has gained popularity for its ability to break trending news online.
Yet in the wake of Michael Jackson’s death, Bing’s search result architecture couldn’t keep up with the public demand for instant news.
Microsoft admits their mistake:
“By most reports, Bing did not deliver the best experience for our customers soon after TMZ posted the news on their blog,” Bing senior product planner Jacquelyn Krones explained.

I don’t hate many things but I HATE, HATE, HATE Bing.
I W-I-L-L NOT USE IT.
I’ve tried it couple of times when it first came out. The results of my searches were either sales links (like the top 5) or I was sent to a search engine, that then sent me to another search engine, then another, and another. I was in over 10 clicks and I had nothing. I don’t have time to waste with this garbage.
Microsoft can shove it! Bing sucks!
