Q: Which search engine is worse: Bing or Baidu?

Not having a VPN all the time has made me resort to Bing or Baidu for the occasional internet search. But each time I use either of them, an inexplicable pang of anger takes over my body and I have to fight against myself to not throw my entire notebook out the window. Both of these search engines suck in my opinion and I don't know how they're even still around. But if push comes to shove I would still choose Bing over Baidu any day. Baidu is the shame of China in my opinion.

Maybe Baidu would suck less if basic things like the number 64 was not considered a sensitive keyword.

Hate bing, baidu isn't much better unless you're searching for something that's relevant to China such as the translation of a movie title or trying to find the movie itself then it really comes into it's own.

 

For everyother day to day need I use google,  without VPN it works most of the time except if you're searching for something sensitive to China.

If you can type/read Chinese and you're searching about China...baidu is pretty good.

Bing is not so bad, but obviously a last choice.

Google is great for all things other than China-related.

I agree with the previous posters; use google for your typical non-sensitive searches.  If you do goof and google mysteriously stops working, just wait a few minutes and/or restart your browser and try again.  I never use Bing, and only use Baidu when I need to search using Chinese characters.  Oh, I also sometimes use Baidu's map service.....sometimes the censors have a real hard on for making google maps almost unusable sad
