Microsoft launches AI-powered Bing Visual Search

23 Jun

Microsoft today announced a new AI-powered Visual Search function for its Bing search engine that will pretty much directly compete with Google Lens. Visual Search will let users search the web and shop online through pictures they have taken or selected from their camera roll.

For example, you can find out more about a landmark or flower by capturing it through the Bing app or uploading it from your device memory. Visual Search will then identify the object in question and provide web links you can explore further.

In the same way, you can shop for fashion items or furniture. If you see an object you like, take or upload a photo of it and the system will reply with shopping options and pricing for similar-looking items.

The Bing team says Visual Search will be continuously improved and expanded but the current version is available today in the Bing app for iOS and Android as well as Microsoft Launcher and the Microsoft Edge browser for Android. It’ll also be soon available in Microsoft Edge for iOS and on Bing.com.

Bing Search Engine – Return More Desirable Search Results by Adding Ignore Words

02 Sep

Tired of web pages containing particular words or phrases appearing in a Bing search? Create search queries that ignore them.

When performing searches with Bing involving words or phrases that have multiple meanings, you might wish to prevent the results from including certain types of pages. Perhaps a word or phrase has a popular meaning but you want pages related to the alternate one.

Another example is searching for a word or phrase that matches the name of a TV show, sports team, movie, etc. These popular culture references may result in pages in which you have no interest. For example, searching for “bones” may show results relating to the TV show, restaurants, a movie, or other non-anatomical subjects….

iPhone – iPod Touch – iPod Touch: Switch Safari’s Search Engine: Bing, Google, Yahoo!

11 Apr

Configure Safari on the iPod or iPod Touch to use Bing, Google, or Yahoo!

If you tire of the default search engine in Safari on your iPhone or iPod Touch, you can always directly access the mobile site of a different search engine instead.

However, the search engine accessed via Safari’s search box is easy to change. So easy, in fact, that some search engines may try to change it for you if you don’t read all the onscreen prompts when you manually access one for the first time……
