So maybe I'm holding it wrong, but every time I use bing I seem to get results that just don't match what I'm looking for, as well as google. Take the search "confluence java jsoup".
If you're looking for documentation, does the (autocomplete-suggested) search term "confluence java jsoup documentation" provide the desired results on the first page?
It might be that Microsoft reckons people primarily search for comments about using the thing, and Google reckons people primarily search for official documentation of the thing? In Microsoft's Visual Studio, say you're coding in C# and got a compiler error and press F1 (help) to learn about it, they changed the behavior about 10 years ago. It used to take you to the official documentation for that error code which was typically dry and useless. They changed it to a bing-powered search for user comments, particularly stackoverflow. That came from UX research which showed that this ended up getting users unblocked quicker to fix their compiler error.
That makes sense, and I could accept that, if it was not for bing's first three resposnes being relevant to confluence or jsoup, but not both (though I'm a little suspicious about the tags on the stackoverflow responses...).
