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?
;-)
Because then you get no advertising moneyzzzz
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?
