Google has recently brought out real time search in the US and the UK to battle the new search engine Bing. I think Google has won for now. They have also rolled out the personalised search so you no longer have to be logged in. I am sure Microsoft will be thinking of new ideas for Bing to contend with Google but I think they are a long way off.
