What does everyone use for searches? I just tried bing for the first time, and I'm not sure how much I like it. I'll still play with it to see how it grows on me, but I think I still prefer google

I use them both. See what the area looks like in GE, then look at it again in Bing.

GE and google are similar but different, with the GE engine you can select time frames and play with toggles
I use all of them since some areas have better resolution than others

Both. Gives different things. Google has the street view, bing has the bird's eye view - both are very useful for looking at scenes up close, but from different angles.

I use Bing, almost exclusively. Wife still uses Google. I had so many problems w/google, on my computer, that I deleted it.
I only know what I know, and I don't understand very much of it, either.

Me too. Seems like there for a while, every time I turned around, Google was trying to install itself on my toolbar as my main search engine.

Bing for searches. Google Earth for aerial searches.

Depends what I am looking for...
For Canadian Specific, I use Yahoo Canada. For General searches, Google.

I use both from time to time, It gives me a more varied group of results.
