Setting Search Engine in Internet Browser

Introduction

Microsoft's Bing has recently integrated OpenAI's technology to provide conversational responses to user queries, posing a serious threat to Google's dominance in the search engine market.

Both Google and Bing offer various features for searching text, images, maps, news and flights.

  • However, Google has a much larger index and market share than Bing.
  • Also, Google has a strong presence in the mobile market and integrates well with its other products and services.

Ultimately, users have the freedom to choose their preferred search engine based on their needs, preferences and familiarity with the platform.
