‘Bing’ Search Engine Challenges ‘Google’

Bing is Microsoft’s answer to all competitive search engines including Google and Yahoo. But, as far as I understand, Microsoft is preferably calling its new search engine ‘Bing’, a “decision engine,” aiming to bring a change in user perception and make the search engine stand out from the crowd. Bing went live  on May 28, 2009, but the actual decision engine started to bing from yesterday onwards!

Since this release of Bing.com is a beta, not all of the features are available yet but it’s possible to get a pretty good understanding of what sets it apart from Google and Yahoo search engines. I loved one of the Bing features most that, if you move your mouse cursor into the right side of the individual search result, then you will find a copy of the text found on the website listed. Yes, Bing does it, but sorry, Google doesn’t. check it out yourself!

Folks, I have also gathered few other interesting specialties of Bing decision engine. So, Enjoy reading it and just ‘Bing’ anything you want to search and decide for yourself!
