Search Features of Bing


Being the competitor of Google and Yahoo, Microsoft's new venture Bing is introducing its various new features and drawing the attention of general as well as net savvy users. It has designed its new Search Engine with all the best applications possible.

Like Google and Yahoo it has also designed its search Engine with different types of search options to let the users choose as per their requirement.

In Bing one can do Image Search , Video Search, Shopping result, news result, Map, Travel search, History [ Last search result ], Visual Search [ Movie and other entertainment result ]

There is a button called "EXPLORE" that leads to all the features available in Bing. One can find a new button "xRank" that shows the most search result on anyone and anything.

In each of the search option, there are so many other search options that offers various types search filters to sieve out the actual information.

I will discuss about more search features of Bing in my next posting

Twitter Updates in Yahoo Search Result


Recently Yahoo and Twitter have a made a deal that the real times updates in twitter will be shown in Yahoo. Previously Google only displayed the twitter updates in its own Search Results but now the Yahoo users will also find the relevant twitter updates in their Yahoo Search Results. This is no doubt a good steps towards real times Updates fields where Google used to reign.

Twitter has announced this to its own Blog Twitter Blog citing some more features that the Yahoo users will find.

Yahoo also has declared this to its own Blog Yahoo Blog mentioning that this new partnership with Twitter will help to collect all the feeds generated and display for their users.

Obviously this partnership is a great achievement for Yahoo as it was loosing some users due to not availability of twitter real time updates . Twitter on the other hand has got a good chunk of priority to the Top Search Engines.
