Re: Success with old bing?

For me: Verizon, Touch Pro 2, Stock 6.1 ROM.

The application itself works fine - that is, no crashes, freezes, gets GPS data, etc.

My problem is that the search results are worthless:

Movies: Fails to show the primary theater in my home town, while showing a single one in the next town. And it only showed 5 movies total. The User Interface of the prior version, which allowed easy display of either Theaters, or the Movies at a given Theater, is much more functional than the current one.

Restaurants: A simple search from my home showed a single obscure restaurant, ignoring the couple of dozen regular name-brand restaurants.

Hotels and Motels: Similarly, it showed a single Holiday Inn in the next town, and none from the dozen or more in my home town.

So it works, but there seems to be something fundamentally wrong with the search engine itself. In addition, the User Interface, to me, and for my purposes, is inferior to the older version.
