bottom line to me if you are looking for something it does not hurt to try more than one search engine.
To me, it isn't the number of hits. I could care less if I got 100,000 or 10,000. I will never look through more than 100. What matters to me is the quality of the hits. What you experienced there is exactly what I am talking about. You found something cool that you can't find on Google.

Even without paying Google money, half the damn world knows all the little tricks for raising their irrelevant search results over relevant ones. Mentioning coupons, to something that uses YouTube to show an example, to paying for advertising (which automatically raises your search result - including the non paid version) and your search result just went to the top regardless of its relevancy. It only has to be remotely related. There are about 7 things I can think of for raising a result above someone else's. These same tricks will not work on Bing. Bing still is yet to be discovered on what makes it tick. As long as we do not know what makes it tick, you will continue to get good results.
