It is clear that Microsoft is trying to take market share away from rival Google. Bing includes new features that help organize search results. The Explorer Pane is located on the left side of the search window and contains navigational and search tools. The Related Search feature includes a list of related searches and displays on the left side of the search screen. Bing is definitely not just another Google. It brings lots of new features to the search tool. Only time will tell if people really want or need a new search engine. If you haven’t already, it’s time to give Bing a try! | |||
