I see your point, I just tried using http://virtualearth.msn.com/ and it seems to work well. If you search for something and move the map after getting your results, it will give you new results.
Not sure if this is a good or bad thing. What if you only want to move the view to determine how far the result is, in relation to some other point. Perhaps someone will make a thourough comparison of the two services.
