Comment on Google’s claim that search users have choice is “bogus,” Microsoft CEO tells judge

I think it’s incredibly simple to change search engines

It’s not though, because the other search engines all suck. I have changed my search engine, but I still keep going back to google all the time because it’s often the only way I can actually find the page I’m looking for.

Microsoft’s point is they can’t create an accurate search engine because they just don’t have enough users to have reliable data on which pages should be the first result.

I don’t think Google should be punished for having a superior product. If users prefer to use Google then the market has spoken. Users can still use Bing even though it sucks.

When I moved to DDG, I had to go back to Google all the time.

With Kagi I never have to go back to Google. And on several occasions people who use Google asked me a question they couldn’t find an answer to and I found it in just a few minutes using Kagi. This saved the day at work once. We had 30 people on a call trying to solve some issue. They had been working for hours with no results. I joined, asked what was going on, did a couple searches in Kagi, and found an answer that was implemented and fixed the issue. 30 people on Google for hours couldn’t find anything useful.
