Is 
the future of search?
Welcome - Bing Overview
Microsoft has launched a brand new search tool, Bing. New features help you and relevant pages and images in an organised way so you can make decisions and find answers in a quicker, more enjoyable way.
In the UK, Bing is still in beta phase, so we're looking to get your thoughts and feedback so we can make the perfect search tool for you.
IT PRO survey results on Bing re-launch
We asked what you would like to improve about
your current search engine
"I get far too many results which have little bearing on what I'm looking for."
Greg
"I find searches either return too much or nothing at all."
Mike J
"I think they need to filter down the results a bit more. For example if you were to search almost anything now, it gives you a few thousand results."
Carol B
"I believe search sites should be random, not for the highest payer. These sites are not always true to the search requirement."
Jim M
"If I specify 'UK' I don't want 'USA' results."

Questions and Answers
No longer satisfied with the status quo of search, Microsoft designed Bing to help people overcome search overload, which we define as "too many links -- not enough real information," to help them with key decisions like buying a product, planning a trip or researching an health condition.
We've found that 66% of people are using search more frequently to make decisions. In these instances, people need a search tool that intelligently surfaces a range of information to help them make better choices.
For all queries, but particularly those kinds of questions (shopping, people, local), we believe Bing is a better search tool.
