its not so black and white. There is no other search engine technology that gives you the results google does no

You are kidding right?
Search results are pretty much the same across different search engines.
The Chinese use Baidu and I don't see them losing anything .
These days, search engines are like cars, pretty much a commodity. I am sure Bing will be very happy for Google ton get out of Australia so Bing can clean up.

Nope, I’m not kidding.

Bing vs google vs duckduckgo. Google has a wider range of results and better categorization. Of course they also have a lot more data to make better page ranking choices.

The Chinese use Baidu within China for Chinese sites — Baidu offers higher ranking to sites with servers located in China, as well as sites with content written in Chinese languages. This is sometimes referred to as “The Great Firewall.”

you are correct that Bing will be very happy — and I do a lot of work for MS, so i’ll be happy too :) — however my point remains that no other search engine will give you the results NOW that google does. If Bing gets access to the petabytes of search data it can improve as well, but it isn’t there now

Your search results are not the same across search engines. Google puts paid results first, and then manipulates search order and ranking based on their environmental and political beliefs. Their research shows most people never scroll past the first 10 results so they load those with sites that pay them and bury non woke sites. The algorithm also tailors results to you and their knowledge of you they have hoovered up stalking you around the web.
