If they want to push Bing so hard I wonder why didn't they just show you the local results first and then asynchronously load Bing suggestions in a separate section. It would make good UX while still promoting their search engine.
Good that it can be disabled though
Maybe the boss wanted the AI results to come first?
;-)
Actually, that's fn brilliant.
It's not brilliant, it's something a software engineer should have mentioned in the first 5 minutes of the initial design meeting. It very likely was.
So what you need to understand is that mashing Bing and local results together was a deliberate design decision. Whether to artificially inflate Bing search numbers , or to get that sweet cash from sponsored results, who knows?
How do you expect them to maximise their profits if people find what they are looking for immediately?
Because then you get no advertising moneyzzzz
