New Search Engine by Microsoft: Bing

Filed under: News, Web Tools & Software — Sharaf @ 7:44 am

Bing.com Search Engine

Microsoft launched a new search engine Bing.com. It is a revamped version of Live.com search engine, which has not been successful in the past few years. But I do like Bing’s features and new preview tools it offers on the search results page. It offers a clean design and many customization options to the user.

Test drive the Bing.com!

Here is a short video about Bing:
