Stack Overflow ranks #1 for Bing Search for "Stack Overflow".

People actually use Bing?

Yes. And DuckDuckGo. And Google.

Why give all your searches to one search engine and one company?

Depending on what you're searching for, Google doesn't always provide the best results.

I interned at Microsoft so I've been using Bing since last May. Only really have issues with super obscure error messages that I encounter, since Google often indexes the source code that generates the error messages, and Bing just has nothing.

Looks like it's a cut/paste error. If you do wget www.doioig.gov, this is the page you get. Notice the meta refresh that points to stackoverflow.com. window.location.href = "http://www.doi.gov/oig/index.cfm" Page Redirection If you are not redirected automatically, please click the link to continue to the U.S. Department of the Interior Office of Inspector General.

And here's why: http://stackoverflow.com/a/5411601/620239 . Forgot to change that first occurrence after pasting it in. "Oh, it works. I'm done."

Well, here's an anecdote: when searching for "stack overflow", the first result is more relevant on Bing than on google. So yeah, a few people will go with that one.

I'm suspiciously seeing, "2,643 people +1'd this." While I would be excited to see such enthusiasm relating to a government property, this doesn't smell kosher.

For me it shows that one of my friends +1'd it. I'm pretty sure he +1'd the real Stack Overflow though.

Another good reason why you should always use "example.com".

Earlier quoted context omitted.

How do you allocate your searches? Does the better quality of results justify the inconvenience of using several engines or is there a mechanism I'm unaware of?

Given that the Department of Interior has been forced to take the whole department (expect for vital services) offline multiple times, I would not be surprised if it were hacked. I am hoping this doesn't get in front of a judge anytime soon as it can have some consequence for people caught in the way.

One such consequence, at one point a judge (curse his or her soul) decided since the DOI needed to be off the internet then all "affiliates" needed to be off the internet. This includes the BIA (Bureau of Indian Affairs). Which included both the .gov and .edu domain. At the time many Tribally chartered Community Colleges[1] were told to disconnect from the internet mid-semester. Even those colleges who paid for their own internet connection and had a .edu domain of their own.

Imagine having two weeks with no internet (most of our students don't have home internet) with classes going on. Finally, someone got the order rescinded for the schools.

I am not very fond of how the DOI handles its internet[2][3].

1) accredited just like state or private colleges with transferable classes.

2) don't even get me started about sending mail from a subdomain with no DNS entry for the sending mail server or subdomain and expecting us to not reject it.
