I'm working on an e-commerce site and I need a good search functionality for it. Budget is limited.

I have looked at google site search, and it seems good but I hate being tied to an ongoing cost like that.

Apparently Bing has an API you can query. I wonder, is it ready for use on a highly search-oriented site? Are there any good examples of it being used to good effect that prove it's effectiveness?

Facebook uses Bing for everything. –  L0j1k Nov 10 '12 at 4:06

Yes, but a useful contributor would make explain why it is off topic and make suggestions to the OP how to make it comply with the SO guidelines. Just voting to close helps no one. –  richard Nov 10 '12 at 4:42

Facebook uses Bing for everything, which suggests it's at least propped-up for something like primetime.
