It uses a whole bunch of potential sources. It is not a front-end for Bing like, say, DuckDuckGo.
If that's the case, why not use searx? I could only see myself using a paid search engine if
It demonstrably returned results relevant to my search more accurately than their competitors
It was well documented that they respected my privacy and how
It showed me no advertisements
It doesn't utilize SEO marketing tactics to adjust its search results
It supported !bangs for very fast searching of specific websites and/or other search engines
