When Microsoft offered chat GPT for for people that were using edge I once more gave Bing a fair shake.

Anytime I went to search for anything in Bing nothing ever came up high on the list. Like if I wasn't searching for a specific product name where the product name was in the URL I had to constantly scroll down at least half a page sometimes multiple pages just to find what I was looking for.

Results were literally worse than any other major search engine on a regular basis.
