Bing is Microsoft’s new search (decision) engine and launched June 1st with the focus on assisting in decisions of travel, shopping, health, local amenities, video, and images. The landing page graphics are following the Microsoftesque feel with its use of enigmatic imagery.
Once a search is entered, Bing offers a variety of options at the top for web, images, video, shopping, and maps as well as search options to the left which are relevant to the search and include your search history. Hovering over the search results and videos provides a preview of the page and video while hovering over images provides image dimensions in a very convenient manner.
So far so good. I have found Bing’s search results relevant and useful, although is it enough to sway users from Google?
