Microsoft’s BING – A New Search Engine for Web
29 May 2009
Microsoft, which has been testing the search engine internally under the name Kumo for several months, plans to introduce the new service, re-christened 'Bing', over the next few days.
This would counter the dominance of Google Inc in the web search and related advertising business.
Microsoft is calling its new product a "decision engine", promising to make things like buying a digital camera, booking a flight or searching for a restaurant easier by serving up results based on similar previous searches.
Bing also incorporates the increasingly popular Farecast service in its flight booking section, making use of the company it bought last year, which predicts whether fares will rise or fall.
Other new features include getting directions to locations with only one mouse click, and the ability to hover over a search result to see more information, without having to open a new link.
