Well, you can try Bing now, and my first search left me very underwhelmed. "Delphi substring" in bing vs google: google's first link has the function desired (copy()), bing has that link at the bottom of it's page, and the first page is useless. *sigh*

They have a mobile version. Looks like Google. I searched PHP unlink and received the PHP manual as first result, same as google. I don't see how this is any different from Live search. Maybe because I am on my mobile?

Try it on desktop. You may see some differences.

Not much, just that thing on the side which reads a portion of the website to me... Which is already there, under the search.. Am I missing something?

I don't see anything special about it? The search results aren't that good, and honestly it doesn't do anything special that would make me want to use it. :confused:

I did some testing. "WingedPanther" on Bing pulls just that. Google gives results for "Winged Panther" as well, which gives more diverse results, but they can be narrowed down put actually using double quotes on Google.
