Microsoft launches new Bing search engine
Steve Ballmer, Microsoft's chief executive, has unveiled Bing, a new online search tool that he hopes will rival Google.
He launched the public test version of bing.com at the All Things Digital conference in San Diego, and the company is claiming that the service will offer a significant improvement in the number of users who actually find answers to their search queries.
Its own research suggests that up to 60 per cent of questions are not answered by the current generation of search engines, and that 50 per cent of all search are in fact repeats of previous questions.
Bing.com looks very different from Google, with a picture on its home page that will be updated daily, and the site also suggests more specific refinements to users’ queries. Once results have been displayed, a column on the left hand side suggests further related searches.
continues.................
