10 Things To Learn About Microsoft Bing

(5) You cannot change the background of Bing. The image which is colourful, will change every day to suit world events and is designed to take no longer to load than a blank background. 

(6) Google in general provides with more results than Microsoft's Bing. A search for Google in Bing brings 198 million hits while the same in Google brought more than 2.5 billion.

(7) Bing offers related searches, which Google doesn't, rather strangely. Related searches for Google for example yielded Ask Jeeves and Ask, which are rivals, as well as Amazon and CBBC.

(8) The word Bing has been carefully chosen because it resonates both as a verb and a noun. Furthermore, Bing, which is made up of two Chinese characters, "Bi" and "Ing" apparently means "very certain to respond" and "very certain to answer", according to Dr Qi Lu, President of Microsoft Online Services and former Yahoo employee.

(9) Bing has a nifty preview feature that allows users to preview text versions of a website without even having to visit it simply by hovering on the side. The preview also provides with clickable links. Just like Google, Bing also offers a cached version of search result pages.

(10) Bing's Image search not only allows the user to search according to size, but also includes layout, colour, style and people variables. In the last case, you can specify whether you want only faces, head and shoulders and others.
