When Microsoft first announced Bing, it touted the fact that it is no a regular search engine. The company insisted Bing is a decision engine – because you know, it helps the user make a decision, not just search for stuff. As the winter holiday season is upon us, Bing wants to live up to that philosophy and would like to make the decision process a lot easier for the user.
“Holiday season is in full swing. And what a great time of year it is - the snow is flying, people are heading out on vacation to spend time with family and friends, and everyone’s got some last minute things to do. At Bing, our goal is to make your life a little easier no matter what the task or decision, and we recently launched some new richer, enhanced search results that can help you do just that,” commented Group Product Manager with Bing, Todd Schwartz.
The "new richer, enhanced search results" that Schwartz mentioned above are:
“What makes this page unique, and the weather decision so easy, is that Bing provides multiple providers so you save time comparing forecasts without having to search all around the web. Even better, Bing ranks them based on historical accuracy, to help you get the best results possible,” explained Todd Schwartz.
