As a developer, I find myself searching for things all the time. There is know way I plan on remembering every little detail. Google has been my friend throughout my (so far not so long but developing) career.

Knowing how to search properly (in any context) is important for finding the information you want quickly. As a developer, this is equally (if not more) important, due to some peculiar symbols etc. Sometimes I have found even google questions the integrity of my search by asking "Are you really a person"?

Along came Bing. A competitor to the golden knowledge fountain of google. I havent really used it very much until I recently installed Windows 7 and decided to give it a try (it was my default search engine for IE). However I have found searching for programming-related information, bing is about as useful as a fishing rod in the desert.

What is your experience with the 2 search engines? Which provides the best answers the fastest?
