Ice_Blue Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 Hello, I don't get it: The first link tells you the answer. Yes.

Active. Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I wish I could completely avoid Google Search. Unfortunately the alternative, in the case of Bing, isn't up to par yet.

simplezz Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 It's also funny how Bing almost exactly copies Google's layout.

Phouchg Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Google has quite fully featured unit conversion, currency conversion and scientific calculator built in their search term parser (among other things, of which I do not care, however). I've found the unit conversion calculator useful a few times, too. Doesn't make me wonder why Bing doesn't have it - they probably haven't had the time to grow all kinds of bells and whistles around it. In time, they will, too. US version, evidently, already has something along those lines. I'd wish people would stop posting US version screenshots and boasting about it. djdanster 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1197825-this-is-why-i-use-google-instead-of-bing/#findComment-596230375 Share on other sites More sharing options...

elangab Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Most likely you're using US/UK bing. The bing experience on other countries is awful. I changed my bing local to US, that's the only way to make it usable.
