Good point, but apple doesn't have many alternatives in the search box. What are...

Don't see why not. Yandex in Russia and Baidu in China would be easy switches.

If you removed branding from the search engine results, I wonder how many users would notice or care that Apple switched to Bing. The quality difference is small: http://techcrunch.com/2009/08/08/which-search-engine-do-you-...

If there weren't realistic alternatives, Google wouldn't pay Apple ~$1B per year.
