Tony did not suggest: one percent own wealth. He suggested: "one
percent own wealth".
So that's what I used as a search term.
Note that Google, on its own, tried the search without the quotes when
it didn't get results with the quotes, whereas Bing did not do that,
or even suggest that.

percent own wealth and all of the first 15 links given were
germane. All of
them.

Perhaps we need to start a site 'let me bing that for you' since
some can't
seem to use it.

Tony, I tried your suggestion, "one percent own wealth"

"1% own" is a really bad search, so let's not blame the search
engine.
First, it uses the % sign, which is often an operator. But worse,
it's
too short to get a meaningful response. That Google was able to
get it
on your first page probably has to do with you having browsed a
story
about it recently. Especially if you have Google Desktop installed.
A much better search would be "one percent own wealth", where pretty
much any engine - Bing included - will put meaningful results on
page
one.

Google: 2nd hit was what I wanted.
I checked the first 100 hits from Bing, and found nothing. I did
