Provided by Microsoft, Bing has been a growing search engine since 2009. With its main competitor, Google, Bing seemed but an infant in the field of popularity. However, Bing had some credentials to its name, formerly known as MSN Search and Windows Live Search, Microsoft also teamed up with Yahoo! to help further extend their name. And with a similar concept to Google, Bing is easy to adapt to and use. Search Engines, as the name implies, allows people to look up information for just about anything by typing in key words in a search box. And with some filtering to be done, a user can find their answer one way or another within the vast cyber world of information. In this time and age, speed and efficiency are dominant factors when it comes to choosing which types of search engines will best fit the user’s needs. Here we have Bing, providing many different types of services such as multipurpose search functions. Some basic options that we find within most search engines include searching for pictures, videos, news, maps and more, but Bing also takes it a step further. With “Instant Answers”, users can track packages with a tracking number and company, and “Bing Search Gadget” facilitates live searches for real-time traffic to online shopping. Bing also allows Facebook users to connect directly to their accounts for access to sending messages to friends in the search results, and link up twitter accounts for similar functions.
With other choices out there, Bing has been making a bigger impression on the mass over time. In the competitive market out there, Bing has been able to offer searches matching the speed and quality to Google’s, and with new functions ready to be exploited, Bing is a search engine worth looking at.
