I was intrigued by your question. I tried the queries you mentioned on both Bing and Google and got similar responses on the first page. Perhaps our ad-blockers are configured differently. Interesting!
Wonder what other HNers are finding if they perform the same test(s).
my latest search was "century city makati" and set it to "past 24hrs", google list a never ending of unrelated results. bing list as much related results as needed, and lead me to a forum in the top result which gives me good idea of what i am looking... in the past few days i have to check Bing for results after I queried google, now i have to set bing permanently.
