I use bing mostly.
Ditto. I mostly use it when Google (search, not Bard) fails me. I find it's really good at answering questions of the ilk: "I swear there's a function for this in the library I'm using, what's it called again?", or telling me that it doesn't actually exist.
Agreed. I find Bing chat is really good when I know almost nothing about what I'm searching, or when I know a whole lot about what I'm searching. Like in your example, if I know exactly what I need but can't remember its name Bing will read all the spammy beginners' guides for me and get the answer. And on the opposite end, if I'm looking to buy a gift in a hobby I don't remotely understand Bing does a pretty good job of holding my hand through the search process.
Weirdly, medium knowledge questions seem to still do better as a basic Google search. If I need to fix an appliance I've fixed before, but it's been a long time so I really need a full walkthrough, the first few results on Google are faster than waiting for Bing to talk through it.
